Bright yellow in color with gleaming reflections, this wine has a pronounced savory character that works to calm its considerable residual sugar. Medium bodied, with somewhat aggressive and crackling bubbles, this is a wine best paired with food as the bubbles come across as slightly tannic. Its flavors range from yellow apple to ale to yeast to baking spice. A fine substitute to Cava when you want to stump wine geek friends and a good value to boot! Enjoy now through 2015.
