Natural and delicately effervescent
This natural, unfiltered sparkling wine continues to ferment after it’s been bottled and retains its wild yeast, which makes it slightly cloudy. The zesty flavour reveals notes of citrus, green apple and bread followed by a mineral finish. This is an elegant, versatile bubbly that’s low in residual sugar and pairs beautifully with lobster, snow crab and spring asparagus dishes. Raise a glass to the return of warmer weather!
As delectable as it is gorgeous
This cherry-pink organic cava reveals hints of strawberry, currant, pepper and nougat, as well as floral and milky notes. The fruit of traditional winemaking methods, its fine, persistent bubbles give it a creamy texture. This sparkling wine’s rosy hue calls to mind an alfresco brunch, with a table full of food and a colourful bouquet as the centrepiece.
0% alcohol and no compromise on flavour
The Torres winery has mastered the art of making alcohol-free wine that retains the aroma and complexity of its regular counterpart—and this bubbly made entirely from Muscat of Alexandria grapes is no exception. With notes of melon, peach and rose, you can have it neat or use it to concoct fabulous virgin spritzes or mimosas. Looking for a drink to share with a mom-to-be? Not sure what to serve your friends on a DIY spa night? This sparkling wine has you covered.
The definition of celebration
It’s Friday afternoon and the sun is shining bright? Your plants made it through the winter? There’s always a good reason to pop a nice bottle, especially when you have a Champagne that’s great value for money! This product’s generous character rounds out its refreshing acidity and notes of chalk, white fruit, toasted hazelnut and pastry.
Exquisitely generous
This blended Champagne rosé—the world’s first, an innovation of Clicquot’s—has an invigorating quality and an aroma of red fruit that turns into notes of cookie, brioche and almond paste. With fine bubbles and a creamy, generous texture, it’s exactly what you want at milestone events like a graduation, wedding or housewarming. Treat yourself!
Sophisticated and enjoyable
Here, aromas of strawberry, golden apples and berries are combined with floral notes, a bright acidity and a delicate mouthfeel. This Prosecco rosé is ideal for kicking off outdoor hosting season, whether you’re dining on a balcony or in a backyard. Serve it alongside a plate of lemony Nordic shrimp pasta, with a fiery sunset in the backdrop.
A renowned crowd-pleaser
Produced by the Champagne house founded in 1785 of the same name, this Piper-Heidsieck is a testament to French elegance and savoir-faire. This traditional Pinot Noir-forward blend has the aroma of crisp apple, citrus, brioche and hazelnut. Why not get a head start on Father’s Day and grab a bottle for a dad who deserves the very best? If you really want to elevate this Champagne, serve it with a seafood risotto or salmon gravlax with dill.
Delicate and distinguished like a Champagne
Because it’s made from the same varietals as Champagne and fermented in bottle just like the quintessential bubbly, Crémant de Bourgogne sparkling wine is the closest you’ll get to the real deal. This Moingeon is a prime example—consisting of 80% Chardonnay, it features notes of yeast and hazelnut and an aroma of white fruit and citrus, while the remaining 20% is Pinot Noir, which adds structure. With the May long weekend coming up, this smooth Crémant can be enjoyed on its own or in a festive punch. If the sun’s out, fire up the barbecue! The delicate bubbles and slightly toasted aroma make for an excellent accompaniment to grilled fare.
