What reviewers say
“Given that this goes for about $15, the price of Prosecco these days, this is pretty good! Made in a champagne style I expected overripe fruit from Banshee, but this was restrained w fresh green apple, lemon, minerals brioche etc. it’s not mind blowing but is refreshing crisp and good bang for buck! L bodied, H acid, balanced. Great for brunch or as an aperitif. Yes, it’s mass produced but I’ve had a lot worse for this price. It’s a Good wine for drinking now.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Vibrant, bright and aromatic with notes of tropical fruit, green apple and citrus complemented by marzipan and honeysuckle. The wine is persistent on the palate and creamy on the finish. Hints of toast round out this beautiful, balanced wine.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank.
