This crisp, well balanced and refreshing sparkling wine is layered with vibrant aromas of white peach, clementine peel, white flowers, and citrus zest. On the finish, hints of peach skin, citrus and crisp apple dance on the palate ending with a twinkle of citrus. This is a very enjoyable sparkling wine alone but also pairs well with shellfish, caviar, seafood, chicken, roasted pork, pâté, and eggs. This sparkling wine should be consumed within the next 7-10 years to savor the balance of fruit and acidity.
