Allan Scott Cecilia Brut NV
Trust your Taste
Apple, pear, blossom and a hint of red berries give Cecilia Brut its inviting fragrance. A soft fruit entry leads into lemon-like freshness and a crisp, clean finish. Try it with creamy chowder or Brie if you enjoy fresh bubbles with gentle texture.

Delicate texture, little grip and clear citrus freshness favour Sensitive palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.
This suits you if you enjoy fresh sparkling wine with orchard fruit and a crisp citrus finish.
It may not suit you if you prefer very rich, strongly toasted bubbles or soft acidity.

How this wine feels
The entry feels softly fruity, then a crisp citrus edge brings the finish into focus. Fine bubbles add a delicate texture, with almost no drying grip. It is a fresh, balanced style rather than a heavy or richly toasted sparkling wine.
The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
How much presence and firmness the wine has in your mouth.
The drying, gripping feeling on your gums.
The fresh, mouth-watering edge of the wine.
Bitter, herbal or savoury character beyond the fruit.
How smooth and rounded the wine feels.
Ripe fruit character. This is not a sugar-sweetness rating.
Ripe fruit flavours can be present in dry wines. Sweet-Fruit Expression describes fruit character, not residual sugar.
