Year- N/A

Winemaker notes- Gradual freezing created a concentrated juice which was used to create this opulent dessert wine. Pears, white flowers, and tropical aromas of guava and mango make up this wine’s complex aroma, while the palate features flavors of banana, nectarine, and orange. A bright acidity enhances the long, smooth finish. Serve as dessert by itself, or as an aperitif.
My review- This was by far the best sparkling wine I've ever had. Very fresh and tropical nose (caught the mango mentioned in the winemaker notes, but that was it). With over 10% residual sugars, this wine was extremely sweet. However I felt that it was not overdone. It was refreshing and very very appetizing. My only issue with this wine is the price tag. $30? Really? But unlike the Viognier I tasted earlier, I think this wine is worth the price. Yes it's steep, but this wine is a must-taste.
