This NV Argentine sparkler gives an orange tint in the glass. Fizzy with soapy bubbles, the wine carries almost no toasty notes on the nose and very few on the palate. Instead, it has an earthy quality, with a lanolin texture on the nose and red fruit on the palate. The mouthfeel is full and creamy, with an acidity that shows strongest on the swallow. It's an unusual sparkler which has the complexity of a still wine, but none of the highlights traditionally found in bubblies. There's an almost caramel quality on the finish.

I did not take notes as these wines were served over a casual lunch with the Tikal staff. This sparkling is made under Alma Negra label but made by the Tikal staff.

Brut nature for sure. Bone dry with notes of tart pomegranate and underripe strawberry. The acidity is lacking and a little oak on this could have helped round out and balance the tartness without dosage. Drinkable, but interesting.
