How this wine feels

The fruit feels generous, while the bubbles and fresh acidity keep the mouthful lively. There is very little drying grip. Expect a crisp, dry finish rather than a plush or noticeably sweet sparkling wine.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
