“This medium- bodied sparkling is boosted by its creamy backbone and persistent mousse. Excellent acidity brings fruits and florals to life. Find notes of lemon, lime, green apple, white peach and peach skin, orange pith, toasted bread, raw almond, baby’s breath and potpourri. The finish is long, lingering.”
