Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of cashews and macadamia, sweaty cedar chips, white flowers, and lemongrass with a velvety, vibrant, spritzy, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish with notes of honey granola and honey nut cheerios, macadamia nut, honey and coconut water, and jasmine tea. A well-executed sparkling alternative to your usual bubbles.
