Like our Cuvée de Frontignan, Thornton’s Sweet Angels Waltz sparkling wine is produced using Muscat Canelli grapes, instead of the more classic varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier that are used in the traditional style of sparkling wine such as Champagne.

Muscat grapes give this wine a very different character from Champagne and Champagne-style sparkling wines. Instead of the aged characters of those wines such as bread/brioche/biscuit and crisp citrus and apples, this wine is all about those unique and delicious aromas and flavors that Muscat gives to a wine. Lush fruit, honey, amazing floral characters and Muscat spiciness set this wine apart. Finished sweeter than our Cuvée de Frontignan, Sweet Angels Waltz is a dessert on its own in addition to pairing with sweet desserts.

Aroma: Typical Muscat aromas of white flowers (jasmine, faint honeysuckle), pineapple, blood orange, lemon verbena and Muscat spiciness.
Palate: Medium in body, with good acidity, tropical fruits, stone fruits and a pronounced sweetness.
Pairing: Sweet desserts, or as a dessert on its own.
