a few South African wines: Good sparkler for $12 - which isn't easy to pull off. Light gold color. Smells of lemon curd, lime, salty-toasted baguette. Crisp and bright on the nose with apples, lemons and lots of chalk. Light, not too complex but very crisp and quite tasty.

bready nose with fruity palate. nice full body. biscuit, almond, and fermented rice on the nose. yeast of course. white raisin.
denser palate than most <20 sparkles. straw colour. lemon/lime, dried apricot, and orange peel on the palate. big soapy bubbles that don't cling to the glass.
who knows what batch my bottle is from. i suspect it's 2 years old but holds well and hits the spot for a dry under $20 methode champenoise

Nice notes of red apple and pear, hints of yeast/brioche, good acid, med+ body, fine bubbles.
