SENSORY PROFILE:
Cuvée Augusto appears a deep yellow with subtle golden highlights, and
with a long-lingering bead of pin-point bubbles. Rich and fruity, it boasts
generous, multi-layered fragrances and a full body. Maturation in large
Austrian oak ovals yields a wine of great distinctiveness.
Harmonious and fascinating, it immediately impresses for its superb
integration of fruit, yeastiness, and oak toast. The finish is clean and lengthy.

with fish and shellfish preparations.
