Andre Peach Mimosa

Andre Peach Mimosa Cans is a ready-to-drink sparkling wine in a can, in the peach mimosa style, from Massachusetts. Because it comes in a can, there is no cork or cage to deal with. Products like this are usually lightly sparkling or fully fizzy, so expect a bright, juicy profile built on ripe peach, with the citrusy lift that a mimosa implies. Styles like this are typically soft in body, with little to no tannin and no meaningful oak. The fruit tends to lead, and the acidity keeps it from tasting heavy. Expect a short, fruity finish that fades quickly instead of lingering. The label doesn't list a sweetness level or alcohol content, so check the can for that before you serve it. Chill it thoroughly, to roughly 38 to 42°F (3 to 6°C). Cold temperatures keep the bubbles lively and keep the peach character crisp instead of syrupy. A couple of hours in the refrigerator works, or about 30 minutes in an ice bath. Don't decant it. Sparkling wine loses its fizz when poured back and forth, and the can is built to be opened and poured. You can drink it straight from the can, but a flute or a tulip-shaped white wine glass gives the aromas more room and keeps the bubbles going longer. Pour gently down the side of a tilted glass to limit foam. A can this size suits one or two glasses. Once opened, drink it the same day, since the carbonation won't hold. This is a drink-now wine. Canned sparkling wines of this kind are made for freshness, not cellaring, and the peach fruit is best soon after purchase. Keep the cans cool and out of direct light until you chill them. For food, it works well with brunch dishes such as eggs benedict, quiche, buttered croissants, and fruit and yogurt. It also pairs with salty or lightly spicy foods, such as prosciutto, fried chicken, or a soft cheese like brie, where the acidity and fizz cut through the richness. It also goes with simple picnic spreads.
