Cave Extrême NV South Extrême Extra Brut Sparkling (Argentina)

Country: Argentina / South Extrême Extra Brut
Variety: Sparkling Blend Other
Winery: Cave Extrême / Argentina

If you’re looking for a pedestrian but true sparkling wine for under $10, this Chenin Blanc-based bubbly from Argentina is solid, a touch yeasty and dry. It tastes much like a Loire Valley sparkler, with baked apple, apricot and peach pit flavors. On the negative side, it’s fairly foamy across the tongue and doesn’t have a top-grade mouthfeel.
