The Wine Front – This spends 60 months on lees. While drinking superbly now, this needs time in cellar. For sure. It’s a green apple, not quite there at ripeness, a crunch of that, resonating, scintillating, tart and supremely long and fine. A lick of nuttiness, a bit of fino sherry, but geez, this is tightly wound and energetic and bright. Fine detail galore, one for the ages. Salon 1996? Yeah, if you know you know. - Mike Bennie, 12 December 2022

Quartz Reef Méthode Traditionnelle Vintage Blanc de Blanc 2017
96 POINTS - The Real Review, Bob Campbell
"Made from 100% organic and biodynamic chardonnay from Bendigo. Aged for five years in bottle on the yeast lees. Rich, creamy wine with pronounced baguette-like yeast lees character. Delicate, complex sparkling, one of NZ's best." 31 December 2022
When it comes to NZ bubbles you’d be hard pushed to find anything that matches the regal qualities of Quartz Reef’s vintage Blanc De Blancs. From the exquisite packaging, bottle through the the really important parts (taste/aroma), this wine is something special. Our advice would be ditch the mass imported champagne’s from the local supermarket and have a search for a few bottles Rudi Bauer’s masterpiece Blanc de Blancs. Fruity citrus aroma’s with nutty nuances, lead to a creamy palate of brioche, almond and citrus fruit. Exceptionally balanced, smooth and with multiple layers of complexity.

Central Otago Wines
Central Otago is a unique wine region for New Zealand as it does not grow any of the country's famous Sauvignon Blanc but also unique globally for being the most southerly commercial wine region in the world. The region is famous for its fruity and full-bodied Pinot Noir with about ¾ of all vineyards in the region growing this grape variety. One of our favourite Pinot Noir regions here at World Wine.
Central Otago is the only region in New Zealand with a truly continental climate, with large daily and seasonal temperature extremes. At 300m in elevation, vineyards are protected from the cold ocean winds by high mountains reaching 3700m. The soils are also different to the rest of the country, with heavy deposits of rough-edged mica and other metamorphic schists in silt loams.
Historically, the subregion of Bannockburn has seen the most success. However, the region has seen significant growth in recent years and other sub regions are also flourishing.
