This wine pours with a pleasing garnet-coloured hue, with a healthy mousse. Your nose is greeted with a prickle from the newly-released carbon dioxide, which gives way to a red fruit mélange of blackberries, cherries and strawberries. Upon degustation the upfront fizz gives way to the flavorful medley of the red fruits mentioned above and an impression of sweetness that is not really there, finishing with the bracing acidity that is a Norton trademark.
