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)
