Drinking Window: 2024 - 2027
Biodynamic Central Otago producer Quartz Reef makes some of New Zealand’s most exciting sparkling wines. The Rosé is made from 100% Pinot Noir and spends 24 months on its yeast lees, resulting in a fine mousse with harmonious strawberry, peach tea and brioche characters, excellent flavour depth, finesse and a fine chalky texture. Very good length.
