Wine Review: Another stunner from Gloria Ferrer. This 100% Chardonnay sparkler opens up with notes of blood orange, kumquats, pink guavas, honeyed citrus fruit, and hints of lychee fruit. From the front of the palate to the finish, this sparkler leaves nothing at the table. The finish is medium to long, displaying ripe citrus fruits and a clean finish. - Nicolay

Winemaker Notes: Opens up with an enticing orange blossom bouquet, lively bubble trails and fine mousse. On the palate, the wine is creamy, clean and refreshing. Flavors of Granny Smith apples, lemongrass, brioche and vanilla creme resolve with lively mineral notes into a well-balanced finish.
