Sparkling wine comes in many shapes and sizes. This natural, methode ancestrale wine is a pure expression with minimal winemaker additions — no added sugar and no added yeast. I found fresh cranberry and raspberry notes with really delicious candied strawberry and red licorice undertones in the wine’s flavors. At 8% alcohol, this wine is easy going and easy drinking. I would pair this wine with charcuterie or as the first wine at a picnic on a beach.
