New Zealand’s largest quartz rock deposit looks a bit like an underground reef, and it sits directly below Quartz Reef’s vineyards in the sub-region of Bendigo.  This biodynamically-grown, classically-styled fizz is a blend of pinot noir and chardonnay sourced from both Bendigo and a small patch of vines in Gibbston and it’s one of the finest in the land.  Hints of lemon, elderflower, cashew and apple give it elegance and all-round awesomeness.

Sip with: tempura prawns.
