LINDAUER BRUT NV

Sunday, May 18th, 2008


1 Gold, 1 Silver & 1 Bronze medal and ‘Quaff! Sparkling Wine of the Year’. ‘Given its high quality, low price and huge volumes, this non-vintage bubbly is one of the miracles of modern winemaking … It’s a fractionally sweet style with good vigour and flavour depth in a refined style, crisp and finely balanced. The wine I tasted in mid-2002 was straw-hued, fresh, crisp and vivacious, with lots of lemony, fairly yeasty flavour…offers unbeatable value.’ - Michael Cooper’s Buyer’s Guide to New Zealand Wines, 2003
