Wine Description
This Sparkling is a blend of 50/50 Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It has delicate red fruits from Pinot Noir and some sweet lemon and oyster shell notes from the Chardonnay. All is balanced with fresh natural acidity and a clean finish. The wine has great length and, most importantly, an abundant fine mousse that lasts and lasts.
