Quartz Reef Methode Traditionnelle Rosé NV (6 Bottles) Central Otago, New Zealand

Quartz Reef Méthode Traditionnelle Rosé NV from Quartz Reef in Central Otago is a finely crafted New Zealand sparkling rosé, produced by Rudi Bauer using traditional bottle fermentation and biodynamic principles. The bouquet is lifted and expressive, showing strawberry, cherry and rose petal layered with brioche, almond and delicate autolytic complexity, underpinned by a subtle saline mineral edge reflective of Bendigo’s schist soils.

On the palate, Quartz Reef Méthode Traditionnelle Rosé NV is crisp, dry and refined, with a fine persistent mousse and vibrant acidity. Flavours of red berries, citrus and apple unfold alongside creamy lees texture and savoury pastry notes, supported by a clean mineral line that drives precision and length. The finish is fresh, balanced and elegantly structured. Awarded 94 points by Cameron Douglas MS and up to 94 points from leading critics including Decanter and Bob Campbell MW, this cuvée is consistently recognised for its finesse, purity and complexity, offering immediate appeal with graceful ageing potential.
