Blanc de Blancs translates to "white from white"—in this case, 100% Chardonnay, crafted in the same traditional method as Champagne. The secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle, followed by extended lees ageing (74 months), building texture, richness, and a fine, persistent mousse. This elegant vintage Méthode Traditionelle is produced by New Zealand’s first Māori-owned wine enterprise, bringing together cultural heritage and winemaking excellence. With its lifted citrus, toasted brioche notes, and crisp, dry finish, it punches well above its price point. A classy, celebratory sparkler that offers outstanding value and a true sense of identity.

Almond, biscuit, brioche, and lanolin complexity with a crisp apple and stone fruit profile.

The perfect balance of rich, creamy, and structured acidity. The palate is loaded with lemon, and lime zest, granny smith apples with toasted hazelnuts. The mousse is fine, well balanced with a touch of minerality on the finish. A deliciously rich, yet refined sparkling, offering superb quality for the price and an excellent alternative to Champagne. Drink now but could develop up until 2027+. Enjoy with soft cheese and seafood. The recommended serving temperature is 6-8 degrees.
