Snappy aromas of citrus mingle with orange and honey on the nose of this sweet sparkling wine from Lithuania. On the palate, the wine is rich and appealing, though perhaps a touch opulent for fans of drier wines. A great companion to Asian cuisine or paired up with an assortment of salty cheeses.

Heady floral and honey scents mingled with a freshness give this sparkler a distinctive edge, and on the palate, the lush sweetness is lifted by good acidity. The wine is undeniably sweet, but minerality keeps it from being cloying.
