Shop Review:
The nose offers regal yeast and richness, while the palate has complexity to prop up apple, citrus and grapefruit flavors. Solid from front to back, with health and freshness.

My Review:
This was a slightly bubbly wine. The bubbles are introduced through a second fermentation of the wine in the bottle. This must have been what gave the wine aromas of fresh bread along with the fruit of the wine. Even the taste of the wine was a little bread yeasty and a basket of fruit. This wine left my mouth feeling dry.
