Bardul din Mircești Fetească Albă Brut Natur 2023

Green apple
Fresh bread
Linden blossom

Green apple and fresh bread with a light scent of linden blossom. Fine bubbles feel creamy, then a bright citrus edge makes the finish very dry and fresh. Open it for the first savoury bites of a long evening.

You’ll notice the creamy bubbles followed by a very dry, citrusy finish.

If you like very dry sparkling wine with green apple, bread and fine bubbles, try this Fetească Albă.

Fetească Albă made by the traditional method.

Made in Mircești, in central Moldova’s Ungheni district.

AT THE TABLE

Courgette tempura with lemon salt

Fine bubbles freshen the batter and citrus meets the lemon.

SOMETHING SIMPLE

Sea bream carpaccio with olive oil

The fresh edge lifts the oil without covering the delicate fish.

FOR SHARING

Fresh sheep’s cheese on toasted bread

Creaminess meets the cheese and toast echoes the fresh-bread scent.

Also good

Courgette tempura leaves room for the apple and flowers while the bubbles freshen the crisp coating.

Skip

Sweet pastries can make the very dry citrus finish feel severe.

Serve at

6–10 °C
