"Classic, fresh, complex and inviting bouquet with aromas of brioche and peach, fresh citrus and apple. Overall an elegant, precise bouquet. Dry, saline, core of ripe white fleshed fruits and citrus, a wonderful texture from the mousse with a firm, fine bubble and lengthy lees brioche finish. A delicious wine, a perfect aperitif expression, balanced and well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2023

"A beautifully styled and composed Méthode, the inviting bouquet shows white stone fruit, lemon peel and apple blossom characters with subtle yeasty complexity. The palate is finely textured and brightly flavoured with pristine fruit flavours together with zesty acidity, wonderfully framed by creamy mouthfeel" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2018

Pale yellow in the glass. The bouquet is perfumed with royal gala apple aromas with a hint of lime and brioche. Flirtatious and moreish, the palate is enhanced by an invigorating cool, creamy acidity. Organic.

"As with all other Kumeu River wines, this is impeccably composed and elegantly expressed, showing nectarine, acacia, lemon peel and yeasty notes on the nose. The palate is superfine and beautifully weighted with creamy mouthfeel and elegant fruit intensity, wonderfully enhanced by subtle savoury nuances and perfectly pitched acidity. Very long and engaging, and hugely appealing. Grapes were hand harvested, whole bunch pressed, fermented using indigenous yeasts; then secondary fermentation in the bottle with 30 months on lees; disgorged by hand" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Made with 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir - this is a delicious wine. Dry, crisp, textured and layered with a fine almost explosive mousse. Flavours of citrus and white nectarine, leesy and fine, crisp, dry and gently toasty. A great aperitif option" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

The finished wine shows delicate strawberry red fruit Pinot aromas, and floral Chardonnay with bready yeast complexity. It has a delightfully creamy texture with a fine bead of bubbles. With a nicely balanced low dosage, it is refreshingly dry with a long, lingering fine finish. Vegan.

1 x Veuve Ambal Crémant de Bourgogne Brut NV (France)

Awarded 91/100 Points & 4.5 Stars: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2019

"Beautifully expressed and inviting, the bouquet shows white flesh nectarine, rockmelon, orange peel and subtle yeasty characters, followed by a vibrant palate that is juicy and delightfully refreshing. Well balanced and lingering" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2019

Gold colour in the glass. The nose is fruity with notes of exotic fruits and citrus. In the mouth, we can find aromas of white flowers and pastries. The finish shows nice liveliness.
