extra, extra this wine is crispy! with carbonation as a destination, these grapes were picked early to keep the fruit bright and alcohol low. acidity is off the charts, extra jumbo like Mutumbo. the ringing of a rustic soul emanates from this wine's time in a clay amphora. here we have a sparkling rose that goes down easy while slowly blanketing the palate with an umami tsunami.
