This sparkling wine represents the marriage together of various white grape varieties, which gives it its particular versatility; it is outstanding for shipping in wine bars, as a mixed drink ingredient, and for enjoying during a meal. It appears an inviting straw-yellow, and beguiles the eye with its slender, continuously-cascading bead. Its fragrant complexity on the nose is matched by a crisp palate with straightforward, self-confident flavours.
