Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine: 3.5+
This refreshing bottle of bubbly is very tart on the palate with some citrus fruitiness, a little apple and ginger, lots of yeasty, biscuity aromas, and a slightly bitter, mouthwatering finish. Good to get your appetite working.
One of the best value for dollar sparklings in the LCBO. Lip smacking delicious and the mousse (bubbles) stays for quite a while unlike others in this price range.
A consistent and solid player like this makes sparkling wine an everyday fun drink, not just a celebration tipple.
Great value making it one of my favourite holiday "special" drinks!
Crisp, light, and refreshing. I found my bottle a bit under carbonated for the style. I enjoyed it, but there are better sparkling wines for the price.
