"Fresh and attractively fragrant, the bouquet shows nectarine, rockmelon, lemon zest and jasmine aromas. The palate is equally charming with juicy fruit flavours with rounded mouthfeel, finishing lingering and refreshing. Elegant and delightfully drinkable. A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Gisborne and Hawke's Bay" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2022

"Ready for Summer 2023 this wine showcases a fresh crisp and apple citrus centric bouquet and palate. Fresh green and red apples, lemon and grapefruit with a touch of white peach. Crisp and moussy with a moderate bubble and fresh dry finish. Best drinking from 2022 through 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Dec 2022

Pale straw in colour, this sparkling wine presents with fresh citrus and floral notes on the nose. The crisp palate is refreshing with a subtle brioche note providing richness and complexity. This wine has a long lingering dry finish due to its fine acidity.

Premium fruit from specific vineyards in Gisborne and Hawkes Bay on New Zealand's East Coast were selected for this wine. These sites are managed specifically for sparkling wine production. The blend is predominantly Chardonnay which provides citrus and floral characters to the wine, with a smaller percentage of Pinot Noir providing structure and subtle berry notes.

Crafted from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, bunches were gently pressed and juice settled right before racking and inoculation. Fermentation was controlled at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to allow the development of fine, pristine flavours and malolactic fermentation was encouraged to build texture and mouthfeel in the base wine. A portion of back vintage reserve wine was included to add richness and depth. Secondary ferment took place in a pressure tank prior to bottling.

Food Pairing: Enjoy this wine as an aperitif by itself or pair with freshly shucked oysters or a selection of appetizers.
