The Ugni Blanc really shines through on the initial attack. There's a slathering of petroleum, bright citrus oil, and citrus blossoms. The bubbles are tight and creamy.

Can't beat the bubbles. Crisp apples, and bit of walnut. Great acidity and weight

We used half of the bottle to make Juliet aperitifs and then finished it over desert. Tiny bubbles, light gold colour, creamy texture with notes of pear, green apple, and brioche
