A really nice bouquet and palate of ripe pomaceous fruits led by apple and pear then a white nectarine and lees complexity. Fresh, lush and juicy flavours framed by a bold mousse and exacting acidity. Such a nice easy drinking style tasting better on day two. Fruity and just dry, balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2028+. 93 Points.

The vivacious 2024 vintage (****) is the second year of Marlborough's first sparkling wine to be labelled as Prosecco. Made from the Glera variety, planted at Rapaura in 2021, it is pale, light and crisp, with gentle sweetness and vibrant, delicate, lemony, appley flavours, not complex, but full of youthful energy. An excellent example of the style, it offers good summertime drinking.
Michael Cooper, Michael Coopers Buyer's Guide

This is immediately appealing on the nose, showing green rockmelon, feijoa, Gala apple, and floral aromas. The palate is equally attractive with excellent weight and creamy flow, wonderfully framed by fleshy texture and beautifully pitched acidity, finishing long and delicious. At its best: now to 2029. 94 Points.
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Made from Glera, excellent concentration of flavour with well-balanced, crunchy acidity; a silky mouthfeel flows effortlessly with a touch of creaminess and lends a refreshing, moreish finish. 94 Points.
Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews

Pale, clear straw in colour with a subtle green hue, creamy mousse on pouring, tiny persistent bubbles. In the nose lemon citrus, apple & pear aromas, with notes of vanilla biscuits & lees. A fresh & crisp palate has a nice spritz, flavours of pear, apple & lemon-honey, a light mousse & fresh acidity, nutty, off dry with 12.5 gm/L RS, long juicy finish. Just the 2nd vintage of this Prosecco, made from 100% Marlborough grown Glera grapes. It's just as delicious as the first vintage tasted last year. Excellent.
