WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Naturally sparkling white wine. Yellow pale with silver highlights. Full aromas of white peach and litchi, with a long finish with hints of honey.
WINEMAKING
Elaborated from a blend of several terroirs of the winery, to foster the sweetness and aromatic intensity of the muscat. After a week settling, the slow fermentation of all the juices is activated by indigenous yeast kept under temperature control. A second fermentation in the bottle is enhanced by the grapes’ residual sugars, with no adding of a tirage liqueur. After four months in the bottle the sediment is taken out with no adding of an expedition liqueur.
WINE AND FOOD PAIRING
Serve cold (8°C), share with friends as a pre-dinner drink or paired with a
dessert such as a pear tart or a crème brûlée.
