Reviews and Ratings

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Very pleasant sparkling wine; medium gold in colour, medium sweet, persistent fine bubbles, and with a pronounced aroma of biscuit, red fruit and citrus. I noticed apple on the palate with a creamy and soft mouth feel. One review had suggested trying this with spicy food like samosas but it overwhelmed the wine. It was excellent with Lemon lime soft goat cheese and Lavender and honey sheep milk cheese; the cheeses complemented the wine nicely. We tried a cranberry goat cheese but it also had some cinnamon in it and that did not work as well. Crisp potato chips went well and also green grapes. A great sparkling wine to pull out for friends!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
