Taste

Inviting foam profile and fine bubbles, wafting with notes of yeast dough, dumplings and dried dates. A mouth-filling sparkler with fine mousse, giving tones of apple strudel and lemon cake; bone dry with crisp acidity; pronounced, vibrant and vital with a long lemony finish. A top quality sparkling wine that develops superbly in the glass.
