✨ wine.spec_sheet
Oyster Bay Sparkling Cuvee Rose is a brilliant expression of New Zealand's cool-climate sparkling winemaking, combining the elegance of Chardonnay with the rich red fruit character of Pinot Noir. The grapes are sourced from selected vineyards where cool ocean breezes preserve natural acidity and intense fruit purity. Utilizing the Charmat method of secondary fermentation to retain its fresh, lively fruit profile, this sparkling wine undergoes a short period of lees contact to add a touch of creamy texture. Oyster Bay, which took its name from Marlborough's local Oyster Bay, has been a global ambassador for New Zealand wine since its very first vintage in 1990 won international acclaim, and this Cuvee Rose continues that legacy of approachable, fruit-forward elegance.
