GOLD MEDAL | Dish Magazine 2024
93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS

This is a lovely example of premium New Zealand Methode from Louis Vavasour. The current disgorgement is a plush and quite textural style with brioche / baked bread flavours underpinned by fresh citrus. It's mouth filling and complex with fresh acidity leaving the finish clean and bright. It's a very 'Champagne-like' sparkling by New Zealand standards. Recommended.

Tasting Notes

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Aromas of white peach, white strawberry , a fine lees autolysis with a toasted bricohe and light oatmeal quality. There’s also a light weight minerality and a lifted white flower note. A fine textured mousse with a firm approach touches the palate first; as this eases off the flavours of citrus, apple, white starwberry and peach return. Lush and fresh, balanced and well made."
Dish Magazine writes "With its rich apple nose, aromatic delicacy and powerfully rich palate, this became an instant hit with our judges. Crafted by Louis Vavasour and his team, this classy example boasts apple strudel, almond and macadamia flavours, which roll into an exotic, elegant, refined palate showing solid textural length. Impressive."
