This complex and drinkable bubbly is a sensational match with our Hot Smoked Salmon and Horseradish Pâté.
Produced from vineyards in Marlborough and Hawke’s Bay, Hãhã Brut Cuvee is a 50/50 blend of chardonnay and pinot noir - both grapes classically used to make champagne. Deliciously crisp and beautifully balanced, this wine is complex and extremely drinkable. Its creamy peach ripeness and notes of brioche, nuts and lemon make it a scintillating drop - and a true soulmate for kai moana. We’re thinking succulent oysters or our Hot Smoked Salmon and Horseradish Pâté (though it's great to serve as an aperitif too).
The base wine was blended from components which were aged on lees for up to five years. It then underwent secondary fermentation via the Charmat method to produce this complex, elegantly structured Brut Cuvée with a creamy mouthfeel and vibrant acidity, finishing clean and dry.An exceptionally classy wine at a very palatable price point, it's the perfect bubbly to put a sparkle into any event – from romantic dinner to quiet night in or special celebration with friends or family.
