Not my favorite. There's nota lot going on here. Yes it's sparkling. Yes there's fruit and minerality. Yes there's acidity. But I think there are better options for the price.

I found this to be a delightful little sparkling. Inoffensive, in the best sense - which is that flavors, though very, very muted, are balanced; no discrete patterns or punch, but unlike some others, I did find this wine to have some character, and a great value accordingly. Lemon and green apple, hint of bready yeast, not much more, but at $8, it's enough. Very pleasant and light.

Has become my new "value" sparkler. I am constantly on the lookout for a sparkling wine for casual drinking with non-oenophile friends, or just to have by myself in the evening. Easy to drink. Easier on the wallet. Not overly complex, but satisfying. Tastes of yeast with a little bit of citrus. Not a long lasting flavor, but it's a bargain at $7.99. This is another example of what Aldi and Trader Joe's do: They contract with a winemaker and guarantee a huge purchase in return for a lower price, often on an exclusive basis. It's a good business model. Try this, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Inoffensive, dry, too much like apple seltzer water. Just not enough fruit, character, or anything else to grab my attention. The blend--at least as of a couple years ago: 30% ugni blanc, 25% airén, 25% macabeo, 20% chenin blanc.

The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle.

This wine is very dry but goes down nicely without much bite. It was hard to pick up the flavors but I would purchase it again.

Bubbles, acidity, sweetness. Not much more, enjoyable for quaffing, but not much more.

Shows little to no fruit or secondary flavors. If you want an inexpensive sparking wine that is not offensive this is the obvious choice.

decent mouthfeel, citrus, creamy, nutty flavors, with some mineral flavors on the finish
