Krasnodar region, Russia, 12.5% vol., 2 270

Grape variety: Pinot Noir

This sparkling wine is pale lemon-yellow in colour. It has a fruity but also problematic nose of moderate intensity, with aromas of apple, lemon, apricot, artichoke and wet hay. Although it is initially fresh on the very light-bodied palate, the bubbles quickly fade, leaving a thin, unpleasantly phenolic finish, with a slightly chemical flavour.
