When we say that this wine has an easy drinking style it is meant as a compliment - it is a super fizz ideal for parties. It has very balanced fruit and yeast aromas with very ripe and soft fruit flavours leading to a long and persistent finish. Very enjoyable.

When we say that this wine has an easy drinking style it is meant as a compliment - it is a super fizz ideal for parties. It has very balanced fruit and yeast aromas with very ripe and soft fruit flavours with a good touch of creaminess. This all leads to a long and persistent finish. Very enjoyable.

Complex toasted aromas of brioche and yeast pave the way for a smooth and elegant palate of apples with butterscotch notes. Easy drinking with decent length.

Morton Estate are well and truly established at the forefront of sparkling wine production in NZ. They continually make high class fizz. This particular wine has balanced fruit and yeast aromas with very ripe and soft fruit flavours leading to a long and persistent finish. Delicious.

Morton Estate always makes high quality fizz and this wine a long standing favourite. It displays plentiful peaches on the nose and in the palate with well integrated elements of yeast and nuts. Ther mousse is quite gentle which highlights it elegant and refined style. As it may suggests it finishes dry.

The 'Sec' in the name denotes a sweeter style than the more traditional dry Bruts. Great as an aperetif, offering fresh appley fruit, frothy mousse and a bit more weight on the palate.
