Created in homage to the rebuild of Napier and Hastings cities after the devastating 7.8 1931 earthquake, this fizz was served last week at Hawke’s Bay’s Tremains Art Deco Festival and went down a treat.  I’m not usually a huge sparkling pinot gris fan, however this is dry, clean, perfumed with nashi pear and crushed seashells, and a crisp, tangy champagne alternative.

Sip with: cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches.
