This is fine methode traditionelle produced by the longstanding king of New Zealand sparkling wine, Daniel le Brun.

It comes very highly recommended.

Tasting Notes
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Classic ‘old school’ style bouquet with aromas of toasted bread, cereal, ripe orchard fruits, starwberry and citrus. Dry, weighty, textured and complex on the palate. Flavours reflect the nose with precision especially strawberry and peach, the autolysis of lees gives flavour and complexity; the overall texture and length is appealing. Lengthy finish, balanced and ready."
The winery writes "Our award-winning No.1 Assemblé (pronounced “ah-som-blay”), means to bring together, to blend and to unite. The structure of Chardonnay, the finesse of Pinot Noir and the softness of Meunier have been brought together for a minimum of 18 months on lees, in the classic Méthode Traditionelle style, to create a wine with elegance, complexity and wide appeal. Composition: 60% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier."
