Blanc de blancs Reviews

Cuisine November 2008

“The beautifully sited Summerhouse vineyard in Marlborough produces excellent wines. This elegant sparkler fits perfectly alongside the freshest shellfish. It has a quietly complex nose of soft red fruits and apple. Light cream and biscuit touches, and a herbal thread, gives delicious savouriness and it tastes harmonious, long and fine.”

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 89 Points

The bouquet is elegant and fine displaying acacia, yeast and chalky mineral notes. It's beautifully textured on the palate with a creamy, rounded mouthfeel and nicely pitched acidity. A delicate and subtle style with lovely balance and a crisp dry finish.

Michael Cooper’s Buyer’s Guide to New Zealand Wines 2010

“Made from estate-grown Chardonnay and lees-aged for two years, this non vintage wine is attractively scented, lively and crisp, with citrusy, nutty, yeasty flavours, showing good complexity and intensity, and a dryish finish.”

Peter Saunders, Hospitality - Thirst

“A true blanc de blancs, firmly spined to stimulate tastes for dinner, (tastes as dry) an excellent chardonnay back-drop in the fruit and perfectly balanced. Another refreshing Marlborough sparkling, doing everything right. Serious enough to be interesting.”
