Natalie's Score: 91/100

From the Western Cape wine region, Desiderius Pongrácz is a Cap Classique Sparkling Chardonnay and Pinot Noir traditional method bubble. Great value on this dry, medium-bodied and beautifully-balanced sparkler with a zesty, fine mousse of baked apple pie, honeyed pear, citrusy, spicy and toasty flavours on the palate. Chill and enjoy on its own or pour with fried chicken.
