Spier Signature Méthode Cap Classique 2017

Appearance: A vibrant light straw colour.
The wine’s fresh, clean nose offers apples and biscuits. A balanced mouthfeel, good acidity and exuberant bubbles culminate in a lively aftertaste.

A full English or continental breakfast. Or, enjoy on its own, as a festive welcome drink or toast.
