A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This wine was aged for five years on the lees, imparting richness and the biscuit/bready note so prized in traditional-method sparklers. Crafted in an approachable, easy-to-enjoy style, it offers lime, ripe tropical fruit and honey notes. Finessed and elegant, it's versatile enough for casual and formal dining and will be great with oysters, salmon, aged cheeses, grilled chicken, risottos, or creamy soups. |
