Lemon

Details
An attractive Italian fizz that's alive with an enticing, warm, yellow tropical fruit profile of mango and honeydew melon. In the mouth we have lovely crisp freshness by way of acidity, cutting through a medium body, with a lick of lime cordial on the finish.

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 4 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: Sparkling wine is an amazing pairing with movie night binge foods because it is known to have the acidity and faint saltiness. These characteristics cut through our favourites like fried chicken and french fries and leave us feeling refreshed.

Pairing guide
This stunning sparkling wine from the ever-innovative Rivani winery brings together classic Champagne varietals, and uses traditional techniques to really make the most of their natural characteristics. With its biting acidity and freshness, this wine is about as food-friendly as they come. We love it with rich, creamy cheese like brie and mascarpone, as well as with deep fried and battered fish or meat, buttery pasta, shellfish, and even fruit-based desserts. A real versatile classic!
