Winemaker's Notes: Intense aromas of rich blood orange and melon mix with subtle notes of raspberry spice and ruby grapefruit. The palate delivers a wonderful balance of spice and fruit, including watermelon, oranges and ripe raspberry. A crisp and tangy finish lingers with a long, quenching acidity. This sparkler is truly one of a kind and should be quite tasty for many years to come.
