Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"An exceptional example of world-class Méthode Traditionnelle, meticulously handcrafted in the stunning wine region of Central Otago, New Zealand. Our sparkling wine captures the essence of the region’s unique terroir and winemaking excellence, offering a truly premium wine experience.

The ‘crown jewel’ in our sparkling collection; this exquisite wine exudes style and finesse. Refreshing citrus notes with an irresistible aroma of a pâtisserie. Tantalizing lime and chamomile with precise acidity that dances on the palate. Fine persistent mousse will capture and engage your senses."

Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2025 (2019 Vintage)
"What can I say, but Congratulations to the whole wine growing and wine making team at QR HQ. Another example of NZ sparkling wine at its best from one of the very few producers in Aotearoa who persistently and consistently deliver quality and deliciousness in a glass of sparkling wines. This Methode Traditionnelle has immediate impact and drive from the autolysis with a fresh nut and fine lees complexity closely followed by scents of baked apple and peach, grapefruit and fresh oatmeal. Dry, taut, crisp, saline, fruity and mouthwatering. A fine small bubble mousse with a stream of finesse and style. Lengthy and ready to drink from 2026 through 2033+."

5 Stars & 96/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, October 2023 (2017 Vintage)
"Made from 100% organic/biodynamic chardonnay from Bendigo. Aged for five years in bottle on the yeast lees. Rich, creamy wine with pronounced baguette-like yeast lees character. Delicate, complex méthode traditionnelle – one of NZ’s best."

5 Stars & Top 10 Cuisine Méthode Traditionnelle Tasting, November 2024 (2017 Vintage)
"A pale-gold colour in the glass with attractive fresh yeasty aromas. The palate is lean, yet complex with underlying fruit freshness overlaid with toast and brioche flavours and a crisp finish. A wonderful mixture of freshness and maturity at seven years old."

95/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, December 2022 (2017 Vintage)
"While drinking superbly now, this needs time in cellar. For sure. It’s a green apple, not quite there at ripeness, a crunch of that, resonating, scintillating, tart and supremely long and fine. A lick of nuttiness, a bit of fino sherry, but geez, this is tightly wound and energetic and bright. Fine detail galore, one for the ages. Salon 1996? Yeah, if you know you know."

5 Stars Michael Cooper, April 2023 (2017 Vintage)
"Top vintages are outstanding, showing great vigour and complexity in a Champagne-like style, intense and highly refined. The vivacious 2017 vintage (5*) is promoted as the 'crown jewel' of Quartz Reef's Central Otago sparklings. Made from Chardonnay, it was estate-grown at Bendigo, matured on its yeast lees for five years, and disgorged in spring 2022. Bright, light yellow/green, it is richly scented, with penetrating, citrusy, yeasty flavours, showing excellent vigour and complexity, and a crisp, dry (2 grams/litre of residual sugar), harmonious finish. Certified organic."
