Reserve Sparkling Cuvee NV

90 Points - Sam Kim Wineorbit NZ

Winemaking

A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. The chardonnay grapes are picked, lightly pressed and fermented to absolute dryness. Following primary fermentation, wild malolactic fermentation is encouraged. The pinot noir grapes must be handled very. After a very quick transition from vineyard to winery, the grapes are very lightly pressed following the same process as the chardonnay grapes. After 13 months the wines are carefully blended and prepared for the secondary fermentation with sugar and yeast, to produce a wine with natural effervescence.

Tasting Note

A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown meticulously to ensure the fruit expresses floral and fruity characters. Hints of blossom, apple, pear, and ripe berry fruits. Enjoy any time, or share with friends as an aperitif.
