Summer Refreshers from Mack & Schuhle Imports
As we are quickly heading for the unofficial end of Summer, there are still plenty of sunny, warm days and evenings to enjoy these refreshing wines.

It is fermented with selected yeast for 10-15 days and held cold until blending. Before the second fermentation, it was filtered and clarified. Yeast and rectified concentrated must are then added to the must, for the second fermentation that creates the light fizz. It is pale gold in color with delicate aromas of pear and apple. On the palate it is slightly sweet (Brut: 11-12 g/L of residual sugar) with flavors of pear and apple that pairs well with most foods. It is 10.5% Alcohol by Volume (ABV).
