TASTING NOTE: From the festooned crown-cap closure to the very last bubble, this Chardonnay - Traditional Method sparkler's a winner. It delivers persistent, fine-bead bubbles and aromas of orchard fruit and citrus. Stylish and flavourful, the palate's treated to lively river of lemon curd and lime yoghurt interlaced with nectarine and notions of Granny Smith apple carried along by oodles of delightful bubbles. It finishes crisp, refreshing and value packed. Bravo! Score - 4 1/2 out of 5 Stars (Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com, June 10, 2015) |
