This wine is the unique result of a winemaking partnership started in 1988 between Montana Wines and the prestigious House of Deutz in Champagne. Deutz Marlborough Cuvée marries the best of New Zealand grapes with traditional French Champagne-making techniques, resulting in an award-winning New World Cuvée, Deutz Marlborough Cuvée, establishing a new benchmark for New Zealand wine excellence and creating a respected market category of its own. Fresh, bright, lifted nose with toasty notes. The palate shows strawberry and lemon with rich yeast flavours. Elegant and well balanced with a long, lingering aftertaste. Designed for drinking upon release, Deutz Marlborough Cuvée will nevertheless gain additional toasty nuances with careful cellaring. An outstanding aperitif, Deutz Marlborough Cuvée is also the perfect match with canapés.
