Luna Argenta Prosecco NV

Luna Argenta Prosecco NV — Fri, 14 May 10 14:46:47 +1200

100% Prosecco Light and elegant, this is a perfect aperitif or match for south east Asian cuisine. Tiny bubbles and aromas of delicate flowers, bee pollen with a whiff of berries. Crisp with plenty of flavours of nectarine and apple peel flavours, honeysuckle and citrus. Lovely acidity and a creamy honey and mineral flavoured finish.

Pierre de Chanvigne Brut Excellence

Pierre de Chanvigne Brut Excellence — Thu, 15 Jul 10 12:03:38 +1200

This sparkling brut, from France - home to Champagne and L'amour, is part of a history which stretches back to 1923. It has a persistent bead and a lovely French nose to it. So if you'd like to add a splash of romance to your day then this bubbly, at this fantastic price, is for you. Was $29.95. A steal.

Vega Barcelona Cava

Vega Barcelona Cava — Thu, 14 Jan 10 16:43:14 +1300

Cava, a sparking wine which is made in exactly the same way as Champagne, has fully established its identity in markets abroad in the last thirty years yet specialized bodegas - or Cava houses - have been producing on a commercial scale since the end of the 19th century. Cava’s name derives from the Spanish word for an underground cellar. Today Cava is second only to Champagne in world sales of sparkling wine.
A medium dry style that is clean and fresh which, sorry to say, beats the pants off most New Zealand sparklings. You will find that the bottles contents will disappear very quickly...
