Pinot Noir (61%) and Chardonnay (39%) from the Bendigo district of Central Otago. Weighty wine with an appealing bite of fresh acidity that transforms to a soft and beguiling suggestion of sweetness on the finish. A nice mix of austere citrus and mineral fruit flavours with fine, toasty autolysis. Bone dry.

The non-vintage Methode Traditionelle Sparkling is sourced from Gibbston and Bendigo, displays a captivating nose of oyster shell, orange-blossom and granite; the palate very well-balanced with good acidity and touches of lemon zest, green apple and just a faint hint of elderflower on the bone-dry finish. I doubt you will find a better non-vintage New Zealand sparkler.

There's impressive flavor depth to this clean, firm sparkler, its toasty lees character yielding scents of caramel and tart apple. The texture is creamy and soft, ready to pour with crab.
