Our guests the Murphys brought this over, and it got polished off before I could take notes, so these impressions are from memory.Very nice pink color and lots of fine, persistent bubbles. Great, fresh aromas of crisp, cool strawberries and bread. Very lively, fruity, and clean in the mouth, with really good balance. Very refreshing.
I was surprised how good this was, probably because of my own prejudices. When I was a wholesale wine rep in NYC in the early 80s, the most popular wine in my line was Freixenet (in the jet black bottle), and at that point Freixenet and the competing brands of Spanish sparklers were pretty characterless.
Spec's website lists this for $8 and change, making it a FANTASTIC VALUE.
