Yep a sparkling from Brazil, a chardonnay from that well known wine mecca, Serra Gaucha in Brazil. So whats it like.

Its clean looking, straw colour with a fresh apple aroma and hints of citrus and minerals. Its pretty high in acidity and the flavour is more fruit driven than the champagne brioche. Its quite light in both flavour and in texture and very dry. It reminds me of some of the english sparkling wines in Suffolk and Norfolk.

Drink on its own or with fish or chicken. This got 89 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards and that’s spot on.
