Description

Collection includes:

2 x Margrain La Michelle Martinborough Méthode 2017

Awarded 93/100 Points & 4 Stars: Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jan 2022

"Two-thirds Pinot Noir, one-third Chardonnay, three years ageing on the lees in this bottle. Nice weight and mouth-feel from the Pinot component and tangy freshness from Chardonnay with plenty of bready yeast autolysis" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jan 2022

This nose quite literally leaps from the glass as a rush of aromas are carried up the nostrils by a gush of escaping gas, along with the slight sting it imparts. Clean notes of green apple, fejoa skin and fresh baked éclair are backed up by way more complex aromas of creamed sweetcorn, rhubarb custard, and grilled chestnut. The bead, which initially tears about like a young man at a party, later eases to a graceful ascension of intricate bubbles which allows for an easier appreciation of the various attributes. Mashed potato with lashings of butter overlays rich marmite, rubbed linseed oil and warm sourdough. There are hints of the blackball lollies your Grandad used to bring and something akin to a well-worn Swandri caught in a briar hedge.

2 x Spy Valley Marlborough 'Echelon' Méthode Traditionelle NV

AWARDED 90/100 POINTS & 4 STARS: Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review

"A blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Apple, citrus and bready yeast flavours with a suggestion of chocolate box from the Pinot Noir component. The wine is rich with a good texture. A fresh and exuberant sparkling wine offering good value" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review

Peach white in the glass you will experience a bouquet of fresh brioche with subtle creamy notes. Citrus and pear lift the palate adding layers of complexity intertwined with a creamy softness. 

Food Pairing: Perfect as an aperitif or with a fresh summer salad of pear, parmesan, candied pecans & rocket.

2 x Bandini Prosecco Extra Dry DOC NV (Italy)

Awarded Gold Medal: New Zealand International Wine Show awards

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

"A fabulously easy drinking sparkling wine; the inviting bouquet shows Gala apple, lemon zest, nectarine and floral aromas, followed by a juicy palate that is vibrant and refreshing. It is fruit forward and comfortingly tasty with a lingering crisp finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2019

The bouquet is delicate and complex with fruity notes of peach and green apple  and secondary notes of acacia and wisteria. The palate is fresh and light with good acid balance and a creamy, harmonious  mouthfeel and pleasing persistence. Ideally this wine is served at 8-10 °C. Made in an off-dry style.

Food Pairing: Ideal as an aperitif, Bandini Prosecco Extra Dry is a perfect accompaniment to hors-d’oeuvres and delicate first courses based on fish and shellfish. Enjoy whilst the wine is young and vibrant over the coming 1-2 years.
