TASTING NOTES

Appearance

Rich, radiant pink hues showcase an effervescent mousse with delicate, dancing bubbles that foreshadow the noble yet naughty personality of this wine.

Nose

A bewitching bouquet seduces your senses. Attractive aromas of candy floss and strawberries with distinctive floral notes invite immediate interest. A coy, come-hither opening leads to more a complex and compelling conversation over time in the glass.

Taste

Refined yet enthusiastic bubbles dance on the palate. A vibrant, voluptuous body slowly undresses layers of flirtatious red berry flavours that ultimately surrender to soft, sensuous strokes of candy floss and floral undertones. A fresh, firm finish leaves you wanting more (much more). A seductive siren sure to titillate your senses in the most pleasurable ways.
