Took a spare bottle of this home after the work Xmas party. Trying now on New Years Eve for shits and giggles. Tolerable, even fun for half a glass. Citrus and apple. Off-dry. Now time to open something half decent.

Tasted blind. Clear, pale lemon green, with small, subdued bubbles in the glass but considerable frothyness on the palate. The nose is clean, medium (-) in intensity and youthful, with citrus (lemon), white flowers and a hint of underripe pear on the nose. The palate is slightly off-dry but crisp, with medium (+) acidity and a decent streak of minerality. The alcohol is medium to medium (-). It is listed as only 11.5%. This is a pleasant, medium-bodied, balanced sparkler. It has a smooth, creamy but palate-cleansing, medium-long finish of apples and bitter lemon. Drink now, not intended for ageing. A great value with surprisingly good quality for less than $10.00.

This was much better than I expected (which was not much). Decent nose, decent mouthfeel. More complex than I expected. A little sweet but not as sweet as I was thinking it would be. I wouldn't go out of my way to pick this up again but if you need/want some "sparkling wine" and want to spend $7 to $10, I think you could do much worse than this.

Straw colored, with lots of bubbles. Yeast, bread, peaches, flowers, and lemon peel on the nose. This wine is off-dry, with decent acidity. Tastes of peaches, flowers and lemon. Good bang for the buck... OK everyday bubbles, might be better off with a Cava at this price point.

Wine is clear, pale straw in colour with medium sized bubbles. The nose shows huge semmillon notes of honey and marzipan. Lots of lemon lime as well as a hint of greeness. On the palate this wine is off dry and extremely acidic. Big baked apple notes, sour lemon, honeysuckle and a long yeasty finnish. Its pretty simple and pretty sweet. There are definitly better bottles out there for the price

This is fun with effervescent and clean tastes of white blossoms, sourdough bread and lemon drop. Party favorite for sure

Pleasant enough - perfect for celebrating a mid-week happiness, but not elegant enough for celebrating a major event.

Faint citrus on the nose. Apples. A little too sweet and not as balanced as I prefer. But for a cheap easy drinking weekend bubbly, it is a-ok.

Very dry, a pleasant summer drink. It has almost a beer -like quality when paired with grilled food. It is making excellent spritzers.

Surprisingly fun, fresh, and fruity. Had a hint of something that could be mistaken as wood, but tasted more like dark spice.
