Holly Bruns rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

With a fine, delicate mousse, this is a great deal for a sparkling wine. Aromas of apple, mineral, and citrus are followed on the palate with a fine, delicate mousse and a hint of grapefruit on the finish. Crisp, refreshing, and hard to stop at just one glass.

It was only a matter of time before this winery, known for its well- priced Sauvignon Blanc, took advantage of New Zealand’s cool, temperate, maritime- influenced climate to make a refreshing sparkler. Here it is, a 100-per-cent Chardonnay cuvee with elegance, finesse and lively bubbles. The wine has hints of peach and minerals and a crisp finish. Source: Nick Lees, Edmonton Journal
