Chandon Garden Spritz (75cl, 11.5%)

Chandon Garden Spritz is a ready-to-serve sparkling aperitif from Mendoza, Argentina, made by Chandon Argentina. It is built on a cuvée of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Semillon, fermented by the slow Charmat method, then blended with a bitter made from fresh Valencia oranges, dry orange peels, herbs and spices. It is designed to be served chilled over ice in a large wine glass with an orange slice, with no mixing required. The nose shows bitter orange, blood orange peel, herbs, spice and a subtle floral note. The palate brings restrained Valencia orange sweetness, blood orange, pomegranate and mouthwatering acidity, with weighty botanical bitters. The finish is medium, with bitter-citrus persistence, gentle spice and a dry herbal edge.
