Reviews and Ratings

Terry Jeans - Certified S rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This is an interesting sparkling with some toastiness on the nose with apple and lemon. It is a very easy to drink sparkling for just about an kind of occasion and would pair well with lots of dishes, including seafoods or charcuterie.
The winery sources the grapes for this fine Chardonnay-based sparkler throughout New Zealand and they use the Charmat method of pressurized tanks to generate the bubbles and to preserve its vibrant fruit freshness rather than the traditional Champagne method of the second fermentation taking place inside the bottle. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
