Kew 2019 Organic Riesling Sparkling

Typical Riesling colour and a light flinty nose. It has lots of foam initially which disappears quickly. Taste is quite dry for even a dry Riesling without the usual touch of fruitiness, and it has a tart flinty aftertaste. Overall taste is quite simple. 7/10

Cidre Bouché Brut de Normandie Christian Drouin

A very French style sparkling cider from Normandy. Dark amber colour and strong apple bouquet. A quite pronounced apple flavour that is long lasting and finishes slightly sweet. My favourite sparkling cider. 9/10
