This is a wow wine. Not intense on the nose yet redolent and complex. In the mouth, it opens gently with biscuit notes and hints of pink grapefruit and pineapple, but explodes towards the back of the mouth in a fruit and acid festival. Elegant and concentrated, with a super finish. This is delicious, a real treat. (Can't believe Delectable doesn't know this wine.)

Golden straw color, delicate small bubbles, bread, grapefruit and pineapple- amazing! This sparkling wine can compare to a French champagne.
