Tasting - Pieter Cruythoff Sparkling Brut

Name: Pieter Cruythoff Sparkling Brut
Variety: 66% Chardonnay and 34% Pinot Noir
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Year: NV
Price: $13

Winery Review: Dry but fruity with a complex nose of tropical fruit and enhancing biscuit flavors. Crisp acid ensures a fresh, clean and very drinkable sparkling wine.

My Review:
This wine started off with a bit of a fruity nose. Some melon and a little mango on the nose. The taste was really dry. It was almost too much so for me especially with the bubbles. I couldn't really pick too many flavors out except for some green apple. The finish was crisp and clean and short. Not too bad just not my cup of tea... or should I say glass of wine.
