Eyes: Pale straw in colour with persistent, tiny bubbles rising to the surface

Nose: Aged 18 months on its lees, this complex sparkling has a delicate nose of baked apple, coconut and a hint of marzipan.

Mouth: On the palate, enticing notes of white peach and canteloupe pair with lively acidity and a fine and persistent mousse to make this a wine perfect for any occasion!

Body: light

Recommended food pairings: While perfectly enjoyable on its own, this versatile Sparkling is delicious with just about anything, from everyday comfort food to gourmet fare. With its refreshing acidity and layered flavours, it pairs particularly well with salmon sashimi, shrimp tempura, or even a decadent 4-cheese gourmet mac and cheese. It’s also a perfect brunch option- try it with eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and chives!
