Vintage Cellar Review:
"On the nose, there is some bread-yeast and some toast, same on the palate.  Great for an everyday bubbly or for mimosas!!"


My Review:
This wine was sparkling and a very light color, almost like a translucent khaki hue.  I noticed apple and some slight citrus scents on the nose.  It had a very crisp, clear aroma.  The taste was very crisp, light, and acidic.  It was tingly, fruity and cider-like at first, the mid-palate was a little bitter, and there was a lingering apple aftertaste.  I wasn't a huge fan of the bitter mid-palate, but aside from that I really liked the wine, so I would recommend it!

Pairings: I didn't try this with food, but I think it would be good with a light fish such as tilapia.
