No1 Family Estate Vintage 2013 Adéle Cuvée Methode Traditionelle

With layer upon layer of flavours evolving in the palate this is a stunning wine, a wine with presence and elegance. From the delicate but persistent mousse in the glass when you pour it, to the refreshing acidity that is the perfect foil to rich characters that come from the extended time on lees, the balance is exceptional. Master Methode Traditionelle producer Daniel LeBrun has crafted a wine to honour his wife Adéle, this is without doubt the best New Zealand sparkling wine I have had the pleasure of enjoying and comparable to the best vintage French Champagnes, think vintage Tattinger.
