Pretty nice for a Brazilian sparkler, with a sweet, frosted-cake nose that’s a bit gassy. Plump and candied on the palate, with apple and melon flavors. Loud and full, but clumsy. Shows good base qualities; needs refinement.

Made from 100% Muscat, the nose offers the usual gardenia and lily-like aromas. Melon and sweet apple flavors are clean and real, and for the most part the wine succeeds. The one place it has issues is its carbonation. It bubbles like crazy, creating foam central on the palate. Imported by XLS Imports.
