NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Korbel Sweet Cuvée presents a bright, clear appearance with lively effervescence that invites the first sip.The nose is rich with aromas of ripe peaches, apricots, and citrus, accented by hints of floral and honey notes, creating an enticing bouquet. On the palate, this sparkling wine offers a luscious sweetness balanced by a crisp acidity that keeps it refreshing and not overly cloying. Flavors of tropical fruits, melon, and a touch of apple lead to a smooth and pleasing finish with a lingering sweetness that is both satisfying and invigorating.
