"A sophisticated sparkler for $8.99? Seems unlikely, but right from the start, this shows off a bright green-gold color and persistent, tiny bubbles. Then the toast of the aroma follows, as does the figgy richness of flavor. It's a big, bold wine, with scents of spring blossoms, cinnamon and sage. The finishing savor of pie crust raises it out of the realm of most cheap sparklers, the dry roasted almond flavors keep it firmly in Spain. Chill this for croquetas de bacalao." 91 Points - Wine & Spirits Magazine, 100 Best Values, Winter 2004
"I love sparkling wine and this Spainsh sparkler has the flavor & sophistication to compare to some that sell for triple the price. Full flavored with great acidity, crisp & dry with tiny bubbles. Smooth & easy to drink... an unbeatable value!"
