Liken’ the lichen. Struck by the intense, concentrated fruit on this guy: dried red apple with some vegetal/savory notes (tomato leaf) and a generous dash of pepper. The website reminded me that ‘15 was a drought year so that + the higher dosage makes sense. A little match stick at the start but blew off quickly. This is a sparkler to have with food. Rustic and brash but 100% alive.

The aroma on this particular bottle made me deliriously happy. Maybe it was the new glassware but I felt like this was so much more alive than the last bottle of the same. I love that the bubble size isn’t insanely small so it’s refreshing without burning, and then I always feel like there’s a bit of a wildflower/grassy element to these that feels soft and drinkable.
