Gold Medal – NZ Organic Wine Awards 2021

Winery notes (NV)
"Quartz Reef Methode Traditionnelle Rose is a wine of distinction, made in the traditional method to achieve elegance and finesse. Focused, fresh and crisp with a beautiful balance and length. 100% Pinot Noir."

5 Stars Michael Cooper, August 2021 (NV)
"The distinctive, non-vintage wine I tasted in mid 2021 was estate-grown and hand-picked at Bendigo, in Central Otago. Made entirely from Pinot Noir, it is pink/red, with strong peach, strawberry and spice flavours, yeasty, dry (2 grams/litre of residual sugar) and lingering. A very harmonious wine, it shows excellent maturity."

5 Stars & 95/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, June 2020 (NV)
"Made from 100% organic and biodynamically-grown pinot noir aged on the yeast lees in bottle for at least 18 months. An appealing wine with subtle cherry and raspberry flavours, a hint of nutty yeast autolysis and a suggestion of spice on the finish. Seductively soft and yet refreshing."

Rated Excellent, 5 Stars & 93/100 NZ Wine Rater, March 2022 (NV)
"Attractive, pale cherry-skin pink. Lifted, aromatic, with notes of dried strawberries, cream of soda, herbal, wild flowers and a hint of sea salt. Dry, delicate and tasty – the restrained, delicate raspberry and wheat-biscuit flavours are underpinned by herbal and saline notes, balanced by the creamy textural mousse making for a style that's sure to have wide consumer appeal."

92/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, June 2018 (NV)
"Pink, pretty sparkling, scents of sweet strawberry, musk sticks. Creamy, simple flavours, strawberry and sour cherries. Tart finish. Nice frisky bubbles. Relatively simple style though texture is good, quiet power appealing and sense of ‘mineral’ and savoury fruit character is great. Good drink."
