BOB’S BEST BUYS
Wine: No.1 Family Cuvee Assemblage Cuvee Marlborough Methode Traditionelle, $36
Why I chose it:
- French winemaker Daniel Le Brun and his family pioneered Methode winemaking in Marlborough and have made some of NZ’s best bottle-fermented sparkling wines – always with a French accent.
- It’s a blend of three grape varieties; pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot meunier.
- It has been cellared for 3-5 years.
- This is truly a truly stylish sparkler that offers great value at this price.
- Perfect Christmas wine – everyone will love it.
- If it survives Christmas, enjoy it on New Year’s Eve.
What does it taste like?
It tastes like champagne with citrus, apple, and freshly baked baguette crust. It has a seductively creamy texture.
Why it’s a bargain:
It is one-third the price of good champagne but it is certainly not one-third the quality.
Where can you buy it?
- Whisky and More, Waikato $34.99
- The Hamilton Beer and Wine Co $35.99
Food match?
Freshly shucked oysters
Will it keep?
A few years if stored well (write the date of purchase on the bottle)
