Wine Review: This almost clear color colored Sparkling Wine from Gloria Ferrer displays loads of tiny bubbles. On the nose, this sparkler is features aromas of peach, crisp green apple and toasty bread notes along with hints of with a lemon. On the palate, it is medium bodied, off dry, balanced and creamy with pleasant acidity. The flavor profile is a blend of brioche, pear, lemon-lime, and green apple with a hint of minerality. The finish is dry and fades away nicely with notes of ginger appearing. We would serve this sparkler with warm crusty French bread and baked brie with blueberry preserves. – Karen & Stuart

Winemaker Notes: Delicate pear and floral notes are backed by toasty almond. On the palate, lively citrus, toast and apple flavors are overlaid with persistent effervescence, a creamy mid-palate and a toasty finish.
