Trapiche Extra Brut, n/v, By Bodegas Trapiche, USD 12
Basic sparkling Champagne style although the blend was done with chardonnay, semillon and malbec. It shows a nicely balanced mix of white fruits like green apple and ripe kiwi and a good backbone of mature bitterness quite attractive. Overall a nice sweetness. If malbec replaces both Pinots in giving off body and structure I´d say quite wellcome and capable of a very good job (that may even be better than Pinots in classical Champagne). A 89 points sparkling and a good value for 12 bucks.
