Shop Review: Light gold with plenty of bubbles, this wine has aromas of apples
and pears with pleasant floral notes. Crisp and light-bodied on the
palate, stone fruit flavors are accompanied by a mild minerality and
balanced acidity. A delicious sparkler for a great price!

My Review: When smelling this wine, I did not detect as much of a nose on it as the description said. It almost didn't smell like anything. When I tasted it, again the flavors were not that distinct or strong. I did enjoy the bubbles which added a nice freshness and lightness to the wine. It did have a little bit of a tangy flavor, but overall, I enjoyed it. 

With or Without Food: Without food
