| This REPEAT last appeared in Vintages on July 7, 2018 at $19.95 - here is my previous note. Bright extremely pale straw colour. Spicy, honeyed, ripe melon-apple puree nose. Very slightly sweet, light bodied, tangy, fresh, bright, fresh ripe apple-melon-lemon flavours with a crisp, unoaked, effervescent finish. A pleasant, crowd-pleaser made in the Charmat method. Has 9% alcohol and 34 g/L residual sugar. |

| TASTING NOTE: Made in the tank method also used for Prosecco, this bright, citrusy wine has notes of candied lime, green apple and honeysuckle entwined with racy acidity, a soft mousse, and a kiss of sweetness. Pair with many different meals, from eggs Benedict to bacon-wrapped pork chops.
