Winery Review: “Crisp, fresh and zesty. Aromas of white pear and citrus. Perfect as an aperitif or companion to fresh seafood. Love the holiday bottle.” – Natalie Maclean - 88/100

 

Wine Folly: Primary flavors include “green apple, honeydew, pear, lager, and cream”

I could taste the green apple and pear.

 

My Review:

The first sparkling wine I’ve tried this semester was a bit of a disappointment. I wouldn’t say that this wine was bad, it just wasn’t anything special. It smelled dry with primary notes of grape and hints of green apple and lemon. It had a very light body with a smooth finish. The overall taste was very dry and simple, and honestly just tasted like grapes with a hint of sour green apple at the end. Regardless of the taste, it was very refreshing.

Tastes on its own with no food, but with friends.
