Maturity adds extra dimensions to this top-notch Marlborough sparkling wine, without compromising its freshness. Toasty complexity is folded through apple, citrus and creme patissiere characters in delicious balance, and the palate is ultra-smooth, long and fine with a savoury, dry signature.

5 Stars & 96/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, January 2020 (2010 Vintage)
"A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that has spent a lengthy six years in the bottle with its yeasty sediment. Plenty of freshly-baked bread yeast autolysis character. The wine shows development but remains quite fresh. A complex, stylish sparkler."
5 Stars Michael Cooper (2010 Vintage)
"The 2010 vintage, currently on sale, is a blend of Marlborough Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, disgorged after six years on its yeast lees. Bright, light lemon/green, it is very refined and vigorous, with a fresh, complex bouquet, yeasty and slightly nutty. A very ‘complete’ wine, it has generous, peachy, yeasty flavours, with a distinct hint of cashew nuts, and a long, rich finish."
