Pale yellow, pinpoint bubbles, yeasty nose. Cool, creamy mouthfeel, decent acid, fruity (orchard fruit and lemon), slight skin astringency on finish. I prefer this to their Brut, but both are very good value

Easily one of New Mexico's finest wines - a crisp, tart sparking wine that draws its heritage from the French family who started the label. Clean finish with some great citrus notes in between. Wonderful stuff - cheers from ABQ!

I don't know how I didn't review this wine yet!! An absolute steal at $15. Toasty yeast, bread notes. Fine bubbles. Pale ginger ale color. Beautiful on its own, but pairs very well with food. This is my go to suggestion for anyone looking for "Champagne" that doesn't want to pay champagne prices.

Hints of bread and yeast on nose. Palate of delicate strawberries and raspberries. Delightful #newmexico #sparklingwine
