Details
This is a fun and vibrant fizz, with green apple crunch and a nice citrusy tang. With apple sherbet vibes and the right balance between sweet orchard fruit and a crisp finish, this bubbly will put you in the right mood.

Origin: The original sparkling wines were made in a place called Limoux in southern France. Mainly Grown In: These days, the whole world sparkles - these styles are made anywhere and everywhere, from a range of grape varieties. Key Facts: Champagne gets all the attention, but there's so much more to the world of sparkling than that. In fact, there are four main methods of production for sparkling wine, each producing slightly different styles and flavours. What is common across all of them however is really focussed, tangy acidity (due mostly to harvesting the grapes early - the acidity is needed to keep the sparkling wine fresh) and an elegant fruit profile. Main flavours often include various citrus fruits, crunchy green apple and hints of honey or biscuit. At the end of the day though, it's about those bubbles and the refreshment factor! Fun Fact: The pressure in a bottle of sparkling wine is typically around 70-90 psi (pounds per square inch), which is about three times the pressure inside a car tire.
