Wine Description
This sparkling wine displays a pale and brilliant gold colour with numerous fine bubbles. The sensory profile is marked by white fruit aromas of orchard fruits, apple, and pear, along with scents of white flowers and exotic fruit. On the palate, the wine is elegant and well-balanced, featuring a lively mineral attack, light toasted notes, and a long-lasting freshness. The body is light and subtle, finishing with a crisp, easy-to-drink character. The varietal composition is a blend of Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, and the local Jacquère grape. The wine typically has an ABV of 12% and is produced using the Traditional Method with 15 months of ageing on the lees. This wine is not organic.

For a classic pairing, it may be served with creamy cheeses like Brie and Camembert, or alongside smoked salmon and creamy seafood risottos.
