Nose
Sweet wine and citrus lift gently through the fizz.
Palate
The wine base makes this fizz softer and rounder than spirit-led versions, but still recognisably part of the sparkling sour family.
Finish
The finish is bright, vinous, and clean.
Summary
A Sauterne-led fizz showing the family's range beyond spirit bases.
