Star bright pale straw gold. Rapidly dissipating mousse, but persistent medium bubbles. Abundant nose of passion fruit and grassy fig. Echoed on the palate featuring bright acidity and a medium [sparkling] body. Finish is about what you’d expect from a sparkler. Clean and grassy, this is a very intriguing offering from New Zealand’s primary SB region. Ready for food, but a great drink on its own. It has the capacity to add complexity to the right meals. Sushi, salads with added protein (salmon, chicken, etc.), pork tenderloin, seafood bisque, and similar fare will sing with this. Or just have a glass of your new alternative fizz on its own.
