Vintage 2017 Blanc de Blancs Magnum 1500ml

The ‘crown jewel’ in our sparkling collection; this exquisite wine exudes style and finesse. Refreshing citrus notes with an irresistible aroma of a pâtisserie. Tantalizing lime and chamomile with precise acidity that dances on the palate. Fine persistent mousse will capture and engage your senses.

An exceptional example of world class Méthode Traditionnelle, handcrafted in Central Otago, New Zealand.

  • Although our Central Otago summer was cooler than usual the fruit proudly ripened as normal. The season resulted in smaller bunch and lower berry weight which resulted in the Pinot Noir being concentrated with very good structure and weight.
  • The grapes for the Vintage 2017 Blanc de Blancs were hand-picked in ideal condition on the 22nd March 2017. Bottled on the 4th December 2017, this exceptional wine was aged for 5 years on lees then riddled and disgorged by hand during Spring 2022 on-site at Quartz Reef.
