An asti spumante lookalike that's enticingly sweet, rich, bubbly, fresh and deceptively easy to drink. Chill well and use as an aperetif or with desserts." Warren Barton Made from 100% Muscat grapes grown in Gisborne This wine is fragrantly perfumed and lively, with a delicate alcohol, a refreshing sugar/acid balance and plenty of floral concentrated sweet flavours. Winemakers Notes Controlled cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks after crushing and pressing help retain the fresh fruitiness that this wine imparts. Good to drink young or cellar for 2 years. Food Match: An ideal match for fresh fruit salad. Alcohol: 8% | Residual Sugar: 80 g/l | Total Acidity: 5.8 g/l | pH: 3.4

"...modelled on the seductively scented, low alcohol, smooth Asti Spumantes of Italy. Offering the rich, sweet flavours of ripe Muscat grapes, grown in Gisborne, it's a delightfully perfumed wine, great for summer sipping."

4 Stars Light and fresh, a gently sweet sparkling with grapey flavours and low alcohol, in pristine condition. Plenty of bubble and life, nicely clean and flavoursome.$15 (USA)
