Marlborough is a land of abundance. Abundance in New Zealand wine making, in a region celebrated for its increasing depth of varieties. In beauty and sunshine, an arresting, picturesque and geographically diverse setting. And in lifestyle choices, making this one strikingly unique place to be. The heart of New Zealand's wine industry, this is Spy Valleys home. Spy Valley Wines has been accredited under the New Zealand Sustainable Winegrowing scheme. This initiative promotes economically and environmentally sustainable vineyard management. For us, this includes our winery, all of our company vineyards and our grower vineyards, and we are deeply satisfied with the way this environment benefits from our sustainability focus.

Following hand-picking our Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and chilling the fruit overnight the free run juice was fermented and aged in older oak barrels for 12 months. At blending, our 2013 wine was blended with a portion of our older sparkling base wine to create a Non Vintage blend. Secondary fermentation occurred in the bottle followed by lees contact for 6 years before final disgorgement in January 2020.

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