Winemaking Notes: This is a traditional method sparkling wine aged for 9 months on its lees.

Tasting Notes: Flores by Carolina Mata showcases fine bubbles and a fresh, floral-driven profile. Aromas of white blossoms, citrus peel, and green apple lead to a dry, vibrant palate layered with lemon, pear, and subtle brioche notes from time on the lees.
