Angove
Organic Cuvee Brut.
The silly season is here!
In the next few months there are going to be a multitude of occasions
where a sparkling wine of good quality, and not outrageous cost, is
required. The Angove Cuvee Brut meets
all the criteria of a delicious sparkling wine that isn’t too hard on the hip
pocket.
With an attractive pale straw colour, and a fine
effervescent mousse, this wine is appealing on first pour. There is a clean aroma of lively citrus with
apple and pear hints. After making suitable
toasts it’s time to get sipping, and this drop doesn’t disappoint. The citrus and apple flavours follow through
on the palate, backed up with stone fruit sweetness and a more subtle nutty
finish. The finish has surprising
length, and draws you in for another taste.
Made with 100% Chardonnay grapes
(often labelled Blanc de Blanc), which were picked early to retain that
delicious acidity that is needed in a sparkling wine. The grapes were gently pressed and cold
settled. A carefully selected yeast strain
was introduced to the wine, which had an extended period of time in contact
with the lees to develop a subtle yeasty toastiness before it was all sealed in
a bottle.
This wine is organic and vegan friendly. It is ready to drink right
now, and is perfect as an accompaniment to smoked salmon blinis, or better yet,
freshly shucked oysters.
At this price, it’s worth grabbing a
dozen so that you always have one on hand for drinks with colleagues, Spring
racing or Christmas parties. If you like a bit of variety you can browse our full range of organic sparkling wine. A bottle of fizz is always great idea as a gift for friends, or your kid’s teachers…or even just because the
weather is nice and you feel like a little sparkly treat for yourself!
