Bottle 75 cl. Pours a cloudy, opaque pale yellow with hardly any head. Lovely funky nose with quite some wood coming through. Medium body, very bubbly - big champagne-style bubbles - and some lemony, tart accents. Nice woody notes adding to the picture, and clearly white wine. Dry and tart finish without any major flaws. Really liked this.
