Normally $34. "The non-vintage Methode Traditionelle Sparkling is sourced from Gibbston and Bendigo, displays a captivating nose of oyster shell, orange-blossom and granite; the palate very well-balanced with good acidity and touches of lemon zest, green apple and just a faint hint of elderflower on the bone-dry finish. I doubt you will find a better non-vintage New Zealand sparkler." 90/100 Robert Parkers Wine Advocate

Made by the highly talented European winemaker Rudi Bauer who makes wine for a number of other Central Otago labels but Quartz Reef is his own label. This is a sophisticated, serious pinot gris that is whole bunch pressed, less stirred for 6 months and fermented till dry. "Its rich and ripe with pear, apple and spice flavours. Lush, creamy, oily, stylish yet firm finish with a nutty spicy length." Class pinot gris from a small cropping vintage.

One of Otago's finest unknown's. Made by Rudi Bauer, who has made a host of acclaimed pinots for various Otago wineries over the years and has a 'Winemaker of the Year' at the National Show also to his credit. This is his own label.
