  This is almost like a wine version of Sprite, but in a good way. It's not something you want to serve with an elegant dinner, but it is wonderful for sipping when sitting outside on an 85 degree day. Fruity, lightly sparkling, and a bit sweet. Not at all complex, but refreshing, and low in alcohol (5.5% I think).

  Delicious, refreshing sparkling wine, perfect as an aperitif on a hot summer day.

  This gentle sparkler was stationed near the exit of the Justerini & Brooks tasting held at Vintners' Hall in London last Autumn. After having tasted goodness knows how many whites and heaven knows how many reds, the palate had become tired, the mind weary and the meaning of all things had become ever so slightly confused. One sip of this and the senses were re-awakened. It is an "efferverscent vitamin C" of a sparkling wine; sweet and gently bubbling, and weighing in at a light 5.5% alcohol. My first thought was that this would serve as an excellent substitute for a between course sorbet; a palate freshener, if you like, as well as being an uncomplicated pleasure and delight for those summer days when champagne seems too grand (and expensive), and everything else too alcoholic.

  Nothing overly complex, but a great summer sipper or starter.
