Cono Sur says:-
“It combines the classic and traditional variety Chardonnay with Riesling and Pinot Noir, which not only contribute in acidity and structure, but also reflect Cono Sur’s fresh and modern approach to winemaking. It’s a lively and radiant sparkling wine, whose aromas reveal great expression of fresh fruit, mingled in with the complexity and elegance of honey, white flowers, and notes of yeast. A fresh palate, with good acidity, balance and complexity, displays an extremely elegant and delicate brut.”
