Aromas of orange zest, peach and apricot, orange marmalade on toasted brioche, and red apple with a medium body and a medium red apple skins, white flowers, apricot fruit leather, and mandarin orange finish.

About
Brut
Brut is a term that defines dryness levels in sparkling wines; it is most famously used for Champagne, but it is a common term used around the world for most sparkers.

While Brut means "dry" for all intents and purposes, it can actually be off-dry or even lightly sweet. The definition of Brut for Champagne is between 0-12 grams of residual sugar, so Brut actually describes a range of sensations.

No matter how dry a Brut sparkling wine actually is in technical terms, it is generally dry enough to serve at the dinner table with most foods.

William Heritage 2020 Reserve Brut, Outer Coastal Plain rating was calculated by to be 87 points out of 100 on 10/2/2024. Please note that MSRP may have changed since the date of our review.
