Details
We are super excited to bring you Beppe Morchetta's brand-new wine in the shape of this super easy-drinking sparkler. This is fresh and bright with lovely high notes of citrus rind and a touch of stone fruit. A must-have for any fizzy lover.
Origin: The original sparkling wines were made in a place called Limoux in southern France. Mainly Grown In: These days, the whole world sparkles - these styles are made anywhere and everywhere, from a range of grape varieties. Key Facts: Champagne gets all the attention, but there's so much more to the world of sparkling than that. In fact, there are four main methods of production for sparkling wine, each producing slightly different styles and flavours. What is common across all of them however is really focussed, tangy acidity (due mostly to harvesting the grapes early - the acidity is needed to keep the sparkling wine fresh) and an elegant fruit profile. Main flavours often include various citrus fruits, crunchy green apples, and hints of honey or biscuit. At the end of the day though, it's about those bubbles and the refreshment factor! Fun Fact: Sparkling wine can be made in many ways - Traditional Method, Tank (Charmat) Method, or Ancestral Method. The biggest difference is the quality of the bubbles (referred to as the 'bead' or 'mousse').

Pairing guide
There’s plenty to love about this characterful sparkler, which serves as a beautiful reminder of what this wine has to offer at the dinner table. We especially enjoyed it with fresh and zesty fish dishes - a good ceviche or fish taco with lime and coriander will hit the spot perfectly. Sushi, oysters, prawn skewers and chilli crab will work well, and it’s also great with green salads, chicken breast dishes, honey-glazed duck and all kinds of green vegetable recipes. Delicious!
