Tasting note
A lovely, toasty bubbly at an exceptionally great price! The chardonnay grapes in this blend come from Hawkes Bay region, while pinot noir grapes hail from Marlborough. Lovely persistence of flavours and bubbles. Crisp, clean finish. A solid value for a sparkling wine: crisp, clean and fresh. Try with fried fish, potato chips, roast turkey and New Year's resolutions. Stock up now for the holidays! Best Value Wine. Score - 90. (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, June 13, 2015)
This medium-dry white displays a simple and medium nose featuring empyreumatic, floral and fruity aromas. On the palate, its refreshing acidity and broad texture precede a medium finish.
Featured in TASTE Magazine, Winter 2012 issue. The zesty Chardonnay fruit brings finesse and the fragrant rich Pinot Noir brings soft, red berry fruit characters to this sparkling wine. Its lively bubbles occur from natural secondary fermentation, which brings to life the delightful and refreshing character of this rosé.
