Cuckoo's Nest Fizze 09

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR SWEET WINE LOVERS

Wonderfully aromatic, delightfully fizzy, and deliciously sweet, Fizz? is made from Early Muscat grapes and is one of the very few wines in the world that captures the fresh flavors and aromas of the grape without them being lost in the transformation from juice to wine. The style is inspired by Italian Moscato D'Asti, and is characterized by an abundance of floral fragrance, naturally fizzy fruit flavors and low alcohol (7.2%).

GOLD MEDAL WINNER 2007 WORLD OF WINE FESTIVAL

While typically thought of as a dessert wine, Fizze is as versatile as it is fresh. Its simple elegance, delicate and refreshing, allows enjoyment as an aperitif, a simple sipping wine on a hot summer's eve, or a punctuation mark after a big meal. It is also known as "the perfect brunch wine" and serves well as a celebration wine for special occasions.

However, it is not so simple to make. Cold fermentation traps the natural carbon dioxide. Stopping fermentation while it's more juice than wine is tricky, and capturing the effusive fruitiness often demands our attention in the middle of the night. And bottling should be done icy cold, so as not to loose any of those precious bubbles.
