Matariki signals the Maori New Year, and the rising of the Matariki star cluster. Signifying a time of renewal, reflection, our connection to the environment and of course, the gathering of whanau and friends. It is said that the brighter and clearer the cluster, the more promising and successful the upcoming harvest season might be. While hazy stars warned of challenging weather and unfortunate crops.
We thought to showcase a divine collection of New Zealand Sparkling wines, many of which are perfect vessels to share your story of Matariki or just simply, for giving thanks to yourself for all your accomplishments since the last rising of Matariki.
A sparkling wine exuding elegance and finesse. Pale yellow with a bouquet of green apple and hints of lime and brioche. On the palate, this is flirtatious and moreish. Enhanced by an invigorating cool, creamy acidity. Focused, cool and crisp with beautiful balance and length.
