Details
Bright, bubbly and seriously moreish, this sparkler is bursting with stone fruit charm. You’ll catch a lovely hit of yellow apple and ripe apricot on the nose, followed by a crisp, refreshing palate that keeps things super fresh. There's a soft touch of sweetness at the end, just enough to keep you coming back for more. Total sunshine-in-a-glass energy!
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 apples, and hints of honey or biscuit. At the end of the day though, it's about those bubbles and the refreshment factor! Fun Fact: Sparkling wine can be made in many ways - Traditional Method, Tank (Charmat) Method, or Ancestral Method. The biggest difference is the quality of the bubbles (referred to as the 'bead' or 'mousse').

Pairing guide
The folks behind Castell de Nit Blanco really know their bubbles - and this one’s a total gem. Light, bright and ridiculously versatile, it’s just the thing for laid-back lunches or snacky evenings with friends. It pairs beautifully with fresh seafood (hello prawns!), silky salty slices of prosciutto, and all those moreish veggie canapés. Feeling a bit heartier? It’s magic with dishes like hake or monkfish, Thai crab cakes, curried cauliflower, savoury filo parcels, tortilla and classic tapas. Oysters? Oh yes. Basically, if you’re having a good time, this wine wants in.

Wine region
Castilla-La Mancha, Spain
La Mancha is a wine region in Spain known for its hot and dry climate, high altitude vineyards, and significant grape production the top sub-regions are Almansa, Jumilla, and Manchuela, each with its own unique wine styles. The terroir across these regions can be characterized by the high chalk content of its soil, which helps to retain moisture during the arid summers. The top wine styles produced in La Mancha are primarily red wines made from the Tempranillo grape, including the well-known Crianza and the top tier Reserva styles, as well as Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. However, the region also produces some white wines made from the fruity Airen grape, which is a native varietal of La Mancha and one of the most widely planted white grape varieties in the world.
