EXPERT OPINION
“An unconventional blend of Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc, this bubbly offers vivacious floral, apple, citrus and toasty characters. Brilliant acidity keeps things snappy. This will be a beauty with grilled or tempura veggies. The producer also suggests a simple pairing of a nice piece of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.” –LCBO Vintages Tasting Panel
