Description

Central Otago produces exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot, so it stands to reason that with proper winemaking, sparkling wines from the region would also have some pedigree.

Well... Quartz Reef certainly delivers on this premise in spades with this Pinot-dominant blend that exudes elegance and finesse. Lead by a bouquet of green apple, a touch of citrus and brioche, on the palate it becomes quite moreish wine, charged by a cool, creamy acidity.

Focused, cool and crisp with beautiful balance and length, this is an excellent regional offering full of individual character.

93 Points - "Rich, creamy méthode with a pleasing bone-dry finish. The wine has a good balance between fresh fruit and nutty yeast autolysis." - Bob Campbell (The Real Review)

    Refreshing Quartz Reef

    Lovely mousse and mouth feel . Clean and fresh . Beautiful aperitif sparkling.

Hand-picked, 8th to 14th March. A selected blend of 62% Pinot Noir and 38% Chardonnay. Bottle fermented and aged on lees. Riddled and disgorged by hand from early 2018 onwards at Quartz Reef. The winemaking was very much in keeping with the traditional practices of the Old World. The winemaker, Rudi Bauer, has combined these techniques, and his own personal understanding, to create this wine.
