Awatere River Methode Traditionelle NV

Marlborough, New Zealand

GOLD MEDAL | NZIWS 2024
FIVE STARS 93/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
92/100 | Cameron Douglas MS
4.5 STARS | Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review

It's always a pleasure to taste New Zealand Methode and this latest release from Awatere River is a very impressive wine. Vinted from chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot meunier sourced from a selection of premium vineyards across Marlborough's Wairau and Awatere Valleys, it's another top end player in our nation's sparkling wine scene. 

Showing citrus, apple, red berry, toasty aromas - with Champagne-esque exuberance, elegance and complexity  - this is a wonderful example of Methode Traditionelle. It comes highly recommended.

Tasting Notes

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Classic bouquet of citrus and white fleshed fruit, there’s a fine leesy quality with an autolysis layer of fresh bread, a touch of oatmeal and toast. Lemon and white peach dominate the core fruit bouquet and flavours. Crisp, salivating, refreshing and dry with a balanced even and dry finish."

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "It's elegantly complex on the nose, showing golden apple, apricot, oatmeal and savoury pastry aromas with a gorgeous yeasty undertone. The palate displays excellent weight and richly textured mouthfeel, wonderfully supported by beautifully pitched acidity, finishing impressively long and seductive."

The winery writes "Our Méthode Traditionnelle NV is a classic sparkling wine made by the traditional bottle fermentation method. Showing citrus, apple, red berry and toasty aromas with exuberance, elegance and the complexity expected of a fine sparkling wine."
