Yes, a $12 bubbly. Why is it in the notes? Because it’s delicious and it’s also cheap. We need inexpensive sparklers for everyday drinking and I would happily free-pour this Hungarian bubbly, made with Chardonnay, Rhenish Riesling, Királyleányka and Pinot Noir, for anyone who enters my house. It’s fruity with citrus-orange notes, toast and a vigorous bead of bubbles that are sustained in the glass. This is a nice, friendly sparkler with a flinty-floral note on the finish. Not every sparkling wine needs to bust your wallet.
