No 1 Family Estate Cuvee No 1 Blanc De Blanc
No 1 Family Estate Cuvee No 1 Blanc De Blanc
Pale straw with fine, persistent bubbles, Cuvée No. 1 opens with bright aromas of green apple, lemon blossom, and fresh brioche, underpinned by chalk and almond shell. The palate is crisp and linear, with lively acidity and a creamy mousse framing notes of citrus zest, white peach, and crushed stone. Chardonnay purity shines through—elegant and precise, with just a hint of savoury lees complexity. The finish is long and mouthwatering, echoing with saline freshness and subtle pastry. Crafted using traditional méthode traditionnelle in Marlborough, this Blanc de Blancs is a benchmark of New Zealand sparkling—refined, vibrant, and resolutely focused.

This has to be the perfect aperitif, the bouquet is both pure and precise, it is seductive with complexity and depth. Aromas of citrus and fresh butter brioche, the autolysis intensity increases as the wine opens out in glass, complexity and fruit spice, flower, mineral and new. As the wine touches the palate the mousse delivers a rush of flavours wrapped is a precise and bold texture, carrying with it flavours of citrus and white peach, then breadth and depth from entreillage of at least 18 months. Can you tell this is one of my favourites?
