Zippy, fruity and festive. Crisp acidity makes it exciting on its own but strong enough to complement fresh fruit or a celebratory dessert. Nice mouthfeel that's not too aggressive, while remaining the life of the party!

The color is so pretty and the bubbles are so tiny and wonderful, just a lovely drinking wine.
