ADD TO FAVOURITES

North Canterbury bubbles are a bit of a rarity, but Hayden Good and The Crater Rim team have been working away to change that. This is a small batch, 100% Pinot Noir from The Crater Rim vineyard. Made in the Traditionelle Methode, aged for 34 months on lees before disgorging and bottling.

We are impressed. A deep golden, almost rose colour, the wine displays great flavour and balance. All the quality markers are there – yeasty, brioche characters from the time on less and hints of red fruits. The mousse is fine and persistent.

The Crater Rim takes its name from the twin craters of the ancient Akaroa and Lyttelton volcanos. Eruptions from these majestic landforms in ages past gifted the surrounding land with an enduring fertility.

The Crater Rim's first yineyard was planted above Akaroa township and the significance of this location in terms of its climatic effect on the whole region of Canterbury meant this brand would extend to include plantings in additional sub-regionsof Waipara, Omihi and Banks Peninsula and Central Otago.

Waipara, in North Canterbury's hills, is now the home base for The Crater Rim where specific sub-regional terriors contribute to the wines produced on their vineyards. Exceptional Pinot Noir is produced at The Crater Rim's winery site, Omihi Rise, also in North Canterbury. The Frahar Vineyard in Waipara also supplies Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc grapes.

The Crater Rim is a frequent recipient of awards, including multiple medals in the New World Wine Awards and regular reviews by Sam Kim of Wine Orbit.
