Bright and airy, this is a casual, light-bodied sparkler. Its bubbles are tiny and refined, and its waterfall of fresh acidity makes it easy to empty the glass. Floral on the nose, the mild flavors are lightly grapey, with green apple and Asian pear accents. The medium sweetness is moderated by a slight bitter twang and proper acidic tension on the brief but fresh finish. Drink now.
