traditional method
Time-honored technique
Traditional method refers to an established way of doing something that has been passed down or practiced over time, as opposed to newer or alternative approaches.
The phrase often appears in contexts where conventional practices are being distinguished from innovations: The traditional method of bread-making takes longer but produces better flavor.
In winemaking and champagne production, "traditional method" (or méthode traditionnelle) specifically denotes secondary fermentation in the bottle rather than in tanks.
