Quartz Reef Methode Traditionnelle Brut
NV
Central Ortago, New Zealand
Chardonnay & Pinot Noir
The vines at Quartz Reef sit atop the largest quartz deposit in New Zealand, making it a precious site for winemaking. Winemaker Rudi Bauer’s philosophy involves producing expressions that invite the consumer to forget their surroundings and hold focus exclusively for the wine. This wine is mesmerizing with its notes of ripe orchard fruits, citrus and brioche. The acid is focused and creamy with an extension through the finish. This is a perfect bottle to try if you love Champagne.

Quartz Reef Methode Traditionnelle Rosé
NV
Central Ortago, New Zealand
100% Pinot Noir
This bottle of pink sparkles is as dynamic and generous as its maker, Rudi. Bone dry, but full of nuanced fruity notes of raspberry, cranberry and strawberries with creamy brioche and a dash of white pepper. Pinot Noir is coveted at Quartz Reef and is showcased perfectly here. Organic fruit is harvested by hand and the sparkling rosé spends a minimum of 18 months with its lees before being riddled and disgorged by hand. Pair with raw bar Hors d’oeuvres.
