A very enjoyable, subtly complex Chardonnay-based fizz, produced by Simonsig for The Wine Society. It is both a celebration of the producer's enduring commitment to social sustainability and of the anticipated growing popularity of South African bubbles in years to come. A core of yellow apple, ripe pear, apple strudel and frangipane, lifted by vibrant acid and elegant bubbles, fills the mouth, leaving a refreshing tail of creamy citrus.
