Methode Traditionnelle Vintage Rose 2021 - COMING SOON!

Five years on from the first release of Quartz Reef Méthode Traditionnelle Vintage Rosé, the next chapter is nearly ready to reveal itself. Vintage 2021 will be released later this year, and we are more than a little excited. Elegant, expressive, and keeping a few secrets for now, it has been well worth the wait.

To join the release list, send us a message. 

2016 Vintage.......

Radiant with a shimmering effervescent mousse playfully dancing in your glass. Subtle aromatic notes of wild strawberry and spice, seamlessly flowing from start to finish. 

Delightfully spirited for the grandest of occasions yet demure with seductive finesse to accompany a romantic tête-à-tête. This is a wine to taste with all your senses and drink with your heart. Santé.

• Spring arrived bringing the usual frosts and cool temperatures yet warming as the season progressed and our precious tender buds were off to an excellent start. Summer presented warm settled weather to support excellent flowering and fruit set. We are delighted with the ripe tannin profile and varietal fruit intensity and anticipate very elegant and classical Central Otago wines.
• 100% Pinot Noir. The grapes for the Vintage Rosé were hand-harvested on the 14 March 2016. Bottled on the 14 November 2016, this exceptional wine was aged for 60 months on lees then riddled and disgorged by hand on-site.
