Quartz Reef Zero Dosage Brut NV. So delicious. Tons of acidity but plenty of the ripe Otago fruit to keep it balanced. Achieves a balance that reminds me of zero dosage sparklers from récoltant manipulant in the the Aube. Fresh and juicy lemon/lime, white flowers/orange blossom, slight oxidative and autolytic character. Good finish.
