This NV Argentine sparkler gives an orange tint in the glass. Fizzy with soapy bubbles, the wine carries almost no toasty notes on the nose and very few on the palate. Instead, it has an earthy quality, with a lanolin texture on the nose and red fruit on the palate. The mouthfeel is full and creamy, with an acidity that shows strongest on the swallow. It's an unusual sparkler which has the complexity of a still wine, but none of the highlights traditionally found in bubblies. There's an almost caramel quality on the finish.

Light, dry, fruity (cranberry, strawberry?), semisweet, subtle, color is orangy-pink. Balanced very well with the Thanksgiving smorgasbord.

Good starter wine for a dinner party. Little overly bubbly but easy drinking

Beautiful peach rose color. Pineapple and rose petal on the nose; earthy peach and peppercorn on the palate. Stunning, unique sparkling Malbec rosé.
