Yeasty; Very soft bubbles; A good food sparkler; Nutty; No real nose initially but opens to a sweet fruityness; Gains complexity in glass of a rich, nutty cheese; Sweet
Sweet, bright green apple nose opens beautifully to floral green salad; Light glycerine texture; Very dull entry; Light minerally mid-palate; Served a bit cold, it warms up with more richness
Quite an open, expressive nose of floral notes; Light transparent red; Surprising depth for the light color; Strong fruit; A tiny bit of spice/black pepper; Short; Very bright
