This week we enjoyed a nice bottle of bubbly from our friends Lee and Ken: the Michelle Brut Sparkling Wine.
In the glass it has a very very pale straw colour. It has a dry nose and smells a bit yeasty. Shane said he smelled field berries, but I didn't.
Upon first sip, it tasted a bit dry, after a glass it mellowed out. It developed a sweet fruity taste, but we couldn't identify which fruit. It had plenty of bubbles, although it didn't have that creamy texture that we like.
We did notice that we were a bit burpy after this one :)
Verdict: Yes, it's good. It's pretty safe. It doesn't taste dry, but it's not sweet either.
Sorry for the lack of enthusiasm in this post, it's been a long, exhausting week.
