Natalie's Score: 90/100

A lively, fruit-forward sparkler that opens with bright notes of green apple, lemon zest and white peach, lifted by a subtle hint of brioche. The palate is crisp and refreshing, offering fine bubbles, a light body and a clean, dry finish that keeps things effortlessly drinkable at 12% alcohol. Fascinating fact: Bread & Butter ferments and ages its base wines at cool temperatures to preserve purity of fruit, creating a style that aims for approachability and everyday elegance.

Bread & Butter California Sparkling Brut Cuvee food pairings: goat cheese crostini topped with a drizzle of honey, where the acidity cuts through the richness beautifully. Or serve it alongside a plate of tempura vegetables for a perfectly balanced, lightly indulgent match.

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A dry and crisp sparkling wine with hints of green apple and bright citrus. On the palate the acidity is bright and the bubbles are persistent and crisp. Enjoy with any fried foods for a nice balance.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
