Legitimately this could be labelled a Blanc de Blancs Brut, as it is dry and made from 100% Chardonnay – but Angels Gate has gone down a different path here with their bubbles, sticking with the heavenly theme of the winery and called this one: Archangel. Pretty and pleasant, this Angel keeps its fruit roots firmly intact along with a good acid backbone. There’s a touch of toastiness along with the limeade and apples nuances that makes the palate tingly and happy when drinking this one. Price: $21.95 – Rating: ****+
