Sounds yummy... how would these bubbles be described in a US-directed marketing text on wine (I'm figuring a sparkling wine)?

melting bubbles
... or bubbles that melt on the tongue (not 'in the mouth')
I think they're referring to those delightful soft bubbles that just sort of melt away as you savour them... as distinct from the vulgar 'fizzy' ones that prick your tongue!
And I AM a drinker !!! :-)))
