I’m a firm believer in opening a bottle of sparkling wine whenever the mood takes you, even if the special occasion is nothing more than having made it through another day. As it happens, I opened this after attending an engagement party of a good friend where the sparkling wine served at the toast was a fluoro green, artificially lime flavoured Chilean blight on the palate of wine lovers everywhere. So I decided that I should toast my friends fortune and future privately once I returned home with a bottle of something else.
Tasting Note: Straw-yellow in colour with a fine bead permeating throughout. An appealing citrusy nose with lemon and hints of apples on the palate. Excellent mouthfeel and of a long and balanced finish.
Score: 91 points, with a value rating of Excellent.
