What, you’ve never heard of a sparkling wine from North Carolina? This one — made with 88% North Carolina fruit — might make you think twice about the possibilities. It has a nice, yeasty aroma, with tropical and citrus fruit notes. It’s pleasantly acidic, with notes of yeast, citrus and honey. Well balanced, with a dry, crisp finish.
