Straw green color. Aromas and flavors of candied lemon, lime skittles, and jasmine and lilac with a satiny, dryish light-to-medium body and a medium-to-long finish revealing elements of lemon and lime, candied orange, and grapefruit zest. A tasty everyday sparkler with pleasing acidity and a slight bitterness to balance the candied citrus flavors.

About
Brut
Brut is a term that defines dryness levels in sparkling wines; it is most famously used for Champagne, but it is a common term used around the world for most sparkers.

While Brut means "dry" for all intents and purposes, it can actually be off-dry or even lightly sweet. The definition of Brut for Champagne is between 0-12 grams of residual sugar, so Brut actually describes a range of sensations.

No matter how dry a Brut sparkling wine actually is in technical terms, it is generally dry enough to serve at the dinner table with most foods.

Dekreme 2022 Cuvee Brut Sparkling Wine, Monterey County rating was calculated by to be 88 points out of 100 on 4/6/2023. Please note that MSRP may have changed since the date of our review.
