N Sparkling is a sparkling wine from St. Cousair made with 100% Niagara grapes grown in Yoichi, Hokkaido and vinified at the winery's home in Iizuna, Nagano. It bursts with a Muscat-like, grapey aroma the moment it is poured, with fine bubbles giving way to a juicy, sweet palate balanced by a crisp, refreshing finish. The wine has won repeated honors at the 'SAKURA' Japan Women's Wine Awards, including Silver in 2020 and 2021 and Gold in 2022, and is positioned by St. Cousair as a festive toasting wine for Christmas and the New Year season.
A Niagara sparkling that captures St. Cousair's crowd-pleasing house style in bubble form — the same juicy, Muscat-scented charm as Niagara Blanc, made festive.
