Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Quartz Reef was established in 1996 by Rudi Bauer at Bendigo in Central Otago's Cromwell Basin. The rose draws on the same biodynamic, Demeter-certified estate vineyard, planted on north-facing terraces of glacial schist and loess with excellent drainage. The region's hot days and cold nights over a long, dry autumn ripen Pinot Noir slowly while preserving the bright acidity a sparkling rose needs. As a non-vintage wine, it is built from a Pinot Noir-led current-harvest base supported by reserve wine, giving a consistent house style and pale, red-fruited character year to year.

Vinification

Pinot Noir is hand-picked early for freshness and whole-bunch pressed, with the rose's colour and red-fruit character coming from a measured addition of still Pinot Noir red wine to the blend before bottling. The cuvee undergoes a second fermentation in bottle by the traditional method and is aged on lees to develop fine texture and gentle autolytic notes. After riddling and disgorgement it is finished as a Brut with a low dosage. Exact blend proportions, lees ageing and dosage NEEDS VERIFICATION.

Central Otago

Central Otago is the southernmost wine growing region in the world, located at a latitude of 45 degrees south, on New Zealand’s south island. A spectacular landscape makes the region one of the most scenic wine regions if not in the world then certainly in New Zealand. Central to the region is the tourist destination of Queenstown, which is a great base to make wine trips from. Heavy mineral deposits in silt loams are typical for the soils in Central Otago, but is unlike any other region in New Zealand. The Otago region is the countries only ‘continental ’ wine growing region. Pinot Noir is the flagship red varietal, which is very well suited to the regions large diurnal shifts (a large diurnal shift means a big difference between low and high temperatures) and also the regions long, cool and dry autumn. The Pinot Noirs coming out of the Otago region are most often fragrant, lush Pinot Noirs with silky textures and true fruit intensity. Aromatic whites also thrive, in particular Riesling where anything from bone-dry to very sweet can be made. Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and lesser amounts of Chardonnay is also made to a very high quality. Central Otago is in Jancis Robinson’s top five New World wine producing regions.
