Description: Light straw in colour with fine mousse. The nose has high intensity with bright green apple, pear, lemon and honeydew melon. The taste is dry to medium dry as there is a light sweetness from the honeydew melon, good acidy, med length, balanced and medium- weight. The palate shows as the nose. This sparkling is not complex but as such it’s easy to drink on its own, especially on a hot summer day on the patio or by the lake, or pair it with grilled pork chops. Best Buy.
