Simonsig, Western Cape (South Africa) 2020

Dec 14, 2022

By Rich Cook

 A very dry sparkler that spent extra time on the yeast prior to disgorgement, lending a nice toasty character to the mix of apple, pear and lemon.  The racy acidity and toasty finish make this a great foil for baked appetizers.  Contains 51% Chardonnay, 47% Pinot Noir and 2% Pinot Meunier.
