Description
 
Salzburg-born Rudi Bauer is one of the most respected winemakers in Central Otago, having worked at Mission and Rippon amongst others before forming Quartz Reef in 1996 with Clotilde Chauvet from Champagne and Trevor Scott. They cultivate 15 hectares of Pinot Noir using multifarious rootstock and clone variations upon north-facing slopes of quartz deposits in Bendigo with supplementary fruit sourced from Central Otago.

The same blend as last year's version (91% Chardonnay and 9% Pinot Noir), the 2013 Methode Traditionelle Blanc de Blancs spent a whopping 58 months on the lees prior to disgorgement in August 2018. Notes of toasted brioche are joined by lemon curd in this flavorful but light to medium-bodied sparkler. It fades a bit quicker on the finish than I remember of the 2012, but it's still an excellent effort. Wine Advocate 92 (2013)
