Nua Brut – vino Spumante
Nua Brut is from one of Italy’s top Prosecco producers. Located in Milan, they have produced for us a special spumante to fit the price and style required. Although it is not 100% Glera (the Prosecco grape), we actually think it is a lot better, as they have added Pinot Noir to our blend to give it more seriousness and some suggestive red fruit notes. This wine shows vibrant red apples, ripe citrus, honey and hazelnuts with a hint of toasty brioche. The bubbles are persistent and mouth filling and the wine finishes clean. A great bubbly at a fantastic price.

Philippe Michel Crémant du Jura
An outstanding, dry (Brut) bubbly made using Méthode Traditionelle. Outside of the beautiful presentation, we were impressed with the lovely yellow-green colour, creamy mousse and lively aromas of honey, green apple, citrus and brioche. A perfect summer refresher, to begin the meal or to serve with all manner of fried appetizers. This wine represents great value compared to Champagne which typically costs twice the price!
