"Toast the good times with this vibrant bubbly from Babylonstoren in South Africa. Made in the traditional method (also known as 'cap classique') of the finest sparkling wines, it offers bright citrus, apple and brioche notes, making it perfect for any celebratory occasion.
Sprankel is composed of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir grapes sourced from some of Babylonstoren's finest vineyard plots. The wine's extending lees ageing in bottle really brings out the quality of the fruit, while adding layers of complexity and a glorious mousse of bubbles.
Straw yellow in colour, Sprankel's bouquet suggests ripe golden apple, zesty citrus fruits and biscuity-brioche notes. In the mouth it is fresh and fruity, with a lively crisp balance. Flavours of lime and grapefruit meld with more complex toasted almond and passion fruit undertones. The finish is long and clean, with minerality and freshness. Perfect popped now, or in years to come.
Sprankel makes a beautiful aperitif, served with roasted almonds and cheese straws, or enjoy it with salmon, shellfish and caviar. The smoothness of the wine also means it works well with poultry and seafood in buttery sauces."
