I love it when I order a bottle of wine that I know nothing about and it wows me...in the order that I placed with The Sampler I included a bottle of Lorca Fantasia Extra Brut blanc de blancs. This sparkler is from Argentina, so I just couldn't resist placing it in my cart even though I had no idea what to expect.
We opened it the other evening and absolutely loved it!! It had a hugely tropical aroma, with just a whiff of banana. It tasted of zesty pineapple and guava, a wonderful combination for a warm evening. What it lacked in finish, it made up in bubbles, a trade-off I am always happy to make. It was a huge bargain at less than £11/bottle. While I would never confuse this with a French champagne, I would happily drink (and serve) this as a gorgeous, playful aperitif. I must order more...
