Champán Korbel

Taste Notes: Korbel Brut California Champagne Extra-Dry (despite the "Extra-Dry" label, which in sparkling wine terminology means it's actually sweeter than a Brut) offers an inviting aroma of ripe green apple, pear, and citrus zest, complemented by notes of toasted brioche and a delicate sweetness. On the palate, it is lively and effervescent, with a fine mousse and a noticeable sweetness balanced by a refreshing acidity. Flavors of sweet orchard fruit, honey, and a hint of baked bread unfold, leading to a smooth, sweet, and approachable finish.

Food Pairings: This sweeter style of sparkling wine is very versatile. It makes an excellent aperitif and pairs wonderfully with light appetizers like fruit tarts, sweet pastries, or even fresh fruit salads. It can also complement spicy Asian cuisine, as its sweetness helps to balance the heat. Consider it with mild cheeses, light poultry dishes, or as a component in mimosas and other sparkling cocktails.
