Bottle. CW online. Mostly clear gold. Surprisingly voluminous, lasting white foam. Well this is bonkers. Nose has fresh oak red wine. Notes of the promised passion fruit and melon. Banana purée. Preserved lemon. Suede like funk. Really vibrant and mouth watering. Taste is a little sweet with a juicy, fruity tartness. Super clean and refreshing with foamy carbonation. Big juice finish. Never expected this to be so good. So that’s me wrong.
