The Ruins Sparkling 2007

A real summer’s day, all occasion, fizz with expressions of ripe guava, fig and white fruits on the nose. The sugar: acid balance gives the wine a crisp freshness and fresh full-palate and length. Chill to very cold (<10 degrees) and enjoy the play of the bubbles in your mouth.  Serve with fresh salads and share with good friends
