product description
Quartz Reef Methode Traditionnelle Brut
Tasting Note
A sparkling wine exuding elegance and finesse. Pale yellow with a bouquet
of green apple and hints of lime and brioche. On the palate, this is
flirtatious and moreish. Enhanced by an invigorating cool, creamy acidity.
Focused, cool and crisp with beautiful balance and length.

Outstanding – Classic: a great wine
Complex and alluring bouquet of sparkling wine with an intense biscuit,
brioche and toasty autolysis followed by aromas of white strawberry,
pear, apple and lemon. A deep-seated floral and mineral core extends
the aroma profile. Bold powerful mousse, full-bodied and richly flavoured
on the palate, flavours reflect the nose with a core of autolytic flavours
leading to a lengthy and fine finish. Delicious! Drink now and through 2025.

The Real Review
A blend of ... pinot noir and chardonnay grown on a steeply sloping
Bendigo vineyard. A quite rich and textural sparkler, with toasty yeast
autolysis, oyster shell and tangy citrus flavours. The wine has an
ethereal texture and a pleasantly dry finish.

White pears, biscuits, barley, lemons and apricot stones on the nose.
Crisp and dry with fine bubbles and a medium body. Nicely linear and focused.

5 Stars & Top 10
Bright, fresh citrus aromas stream from the glass and onto the
well-weighted and superbly balanced palate. Complex autolysis and creamy
toasted brioche flavours ride the lifted acid line that runs along the
length of the palate with hints of mouthwatering minerality to a long
salivating finish.
