Tasting Note

Sour dough aromas combine with crunchy green apple fruit to provide a wonderfully welcoming nose. The palate is fine with a lively and persistent mousse. Green apple and pear fruit characters mix with a toasted brioche lees-y flavor, helping to provide a complex and more-ish palate. Balanced acidity and a long finish make this a very classy sparkling wine indeed.
