product description
No.1 Reine Cuvée Reserve NV
Tasting Note
The bouquet is rich and complex with delicious buttery shortbread
and brioche autolysis and delightful hints of ripe apricot. The extended lees ageing has created a charming méthode that is full
and rich but retains finesse. Champagne-like characters of brioche and
buttered toast are entwined with baked peach and ripe apricot. The
pallet is broad with beautifully balanced acidity creating a seamless and
elegant méthode that is crisp, yet lingers on the taste buds.

Top NZ Wine Selection 2025
This is a fantastic wine beginning with plush pale golden hues and lemon highlights leading to a bouquet of white fleshed orchard fruits and citrus swathed in a fresh butter brioche autolysis from extended fine lees complexities. Apple blossom, nut and honey highlights complete the bouquet. A complex wine touches the palate with a softly textured voluminous mousse and super fine bubble. Nicely weighted with a rounded satin-cream texture, core flavours of oatmeal, citrus, white fleshed orchard fruits with layers of autolysis and acidity. A delicious wine with a dry, lengthy finish offering perfect drinking today and through the next eight to twelve years.

Exquisitely composed and styled, showing crunchy apple, lemon pith, sweet pastry and white floral nuances, leading to a brilliantly focused palate exhibiting creamy mouthfeel combined with beautifully pitched acidity, finishing graceful and captivating. Seamless and perfectly proportioned.
