A luscious, hand-picked, bottle-fermented sparkling wine with impeccable balance, crisp acidity, & clean minerality. On the nose, you are greeted with bright aromas of tangerine, white nectarine, lemon zest, & Bosc pear, with hints of freshly baked brioche & crystalized ginger. The palate bursts with vibrant flavors of Granny Smith apple, Meyer lemon curd, & candied grapefruit that cling to the palate. Notes of lemon cucumber & marzipan are complimented by super clean minerality & long-lasting, elegant bubbles. This rich & refreshing sparkler is perfect for any meal or occasion! With its vibrant, fruitful, & crisp yet elegant nature, this sparkling wine will maintain its freshness, structure, & refined finish for years to come but is absolutely delicious now!

I have waited so long for the new vintage of this wine and this release really takes the cake. You couldn't ask for a better champagne-style wine. I bought half a case just before new years when I got the email about the release and have already dwindled down to one bottle :( Compared to other more mainstream brands (at a fraction of the cost) this is by far my go to sparking right now.
