Wine Review: This pale yellow colored sparkler displays tiny refined bubbles and opens with a bread dough like bouquet with a hint of mild apple and honey. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, smooth, and elegant with mild acidity. The flavor profile is a mineral infused mild green apple and pear with a hint of lemon. The finish is dry and very refreshing. The panel suggested pairing this very nice sparkling wine with steamed mussels, lemon sole or mousse pate. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Our Cremant is of typical color: straw yellow with a green tint, evoking the colors of the Alsatian countryside. The nose is fresh and truly enjoyable, a finely composed fruity bouquet. In the mouth, it is a veritable explosion of delicate fruit flavors complemented by a crisp and refreshing finish.
