This bottle doesn’t whisper “celebration”—it sings it. Crafted by Gibbston Valley with alpine precision and a touch of wild elegance, this Méthode Traditionelle NV blends Pinot Noir from the cool Gibbston subregion (think electric acidity and clarity) with Chardonnay from Bendigo’s elevated China Terrace vineyard (hello, structure and finesse). Handpicked, whole bunch pressed, and aged on lees for 27–30 months, it’s a masterclass in patience and purity. Expect golden hues, a fine bead, and aromas that dance between brioche, red berry, lemon zest, and spring blossom. The palate? Full and creamy, with a mineral snap and just a kiss of sweetness (6g/L dosage). It’s ready to drink now—and ready to impress.

As one of the region’s founding wineries, Gibbston Valley's focus has always been handcrafting premium wines. Honouring these traditions have made them a world-renowned destination, since releasing Central Otago's first commercial vintage in 1987.

No one thought grapes could flourish at 45 degrees south of the equator. But wine pioneer, Alan Brady, took a chance on the unknown and planted the region’s first vines in 1983. With organic certification, they create unique and pure reflections of ruggedly-beautiful and incredibly diverse surroundings. They are inspired by the pursuit of good wine, good food and what they like to call good living.
