{"product_id":"christiena-troussueau-brut-nv","title":"Christiena Troussueau Brut NV","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"1592\"\u003eChristiena Trousseau is part of the flagship range crafted by Van Loveren Family Vineyards, one of the Robertson Valley’s most established producers. This sparkling wine bears a name steeped in the estate’s history: Christiena van Loveren, an early settler whose legacy is reflected in the farm’s long winemaking tradition. The Brut NV is typically made in the Methode Cap Classique style - although specific production details aren’t widely published, this involves secondary fermentation in bottle to build fine, persistent bubbles. The aim is a lively, approachable sparkling that expresses fresh fruit brightness and refreshing acidity characteristic of cool early picking and careful handling. Van Loveren’s philosophy with this range emphasises accessible quality and versatile enjoyment rather than overt oak or heaviness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"721\" data-end=\"1592\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"1728\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1672\" data-end=\"1675\"\u003ePale golden with bright effervescence in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"1728\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1730\" data-end=\"1982\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1739\" data-end=\"1742\"\u003eAromatic citrus - lemon zest and green apple - comes forward, along with hints of melon and early orchard fruit.
