Status |
|
| Sourced from Hawke's Bay and Marlborough respectively, the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir used to craft the Oyster Bay Sparkling CuvÈe Brut RosÈ deliver the same intensity of flavour and zesty acidity that have made New Zealand one of the premium wine-growing nations in the world. After all, the very same cool-climate, ocean influences that produce the country's brilliant Sauvignon Blanc apply to these grapes. This wine will have complex, layered fruit with lively acidity and a crisp, long finish. |
