It offers lots of attractive fruit aromas and flavors, but at the same time it’s very dry with racy acidity... This champenoise methode sparkling wine spends 12 months on the lees. It has high acidity (pH 3.2) and low residual sugar (0.5 g/l)." DOWNLOAD: Label | Bottle Shot | Tech/Tasting Sheet | Shelftalkers | Valentine's Day and Sparkling Torrontés
