Grape

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir

Origin
From Cloudy Bay Vineyards in Marlborough's Wairau Valley, Pelorus Vintage is made in the style of Champagne, by the same production method, from the free-run juice of hand-picked grapes. With 3 years of lees-ageing, this really is a match for any Champagne.
Taste
Aromas of apple and citrus fruit, with baked bread, brioche and nutty characters. A full, creamy mid palate that leads in to an elegant long finish.
Enjoy
As with Champagne, this is a classic match with caviar or smoked salmon. But being slightly fruitier, this could partner Asian cuisine.

    Champagne buster!

    After drinking this for years, it is still good to know the team at Cloudy bay can produce a sparkling wine to knock spots off much more expensive champagnes; it makes me wonder how LVMH/Veuve Clicquot feels when producing its own basic (and even vintage) fizz. Light, fragrant, clear fruit tastes and not over-burdened by champagne expectations, it continues to be my first choice bottle to 'pop'. No getting quickly drunk on over-carbonated grape juice here, just a chance to sip and savour a wine made with love.

    disappointing

    I have always bought your Montana Sparkling,which you don't have right now fantastic value for money.. Have drunk a lot of the S/B cloudy bay which is a classic. This pop is very disappointing,doesn,t retain its bubbles fairly tasteless. I would't have thought it was made from the two classic champagne grapes.Drop it!

    Very good value fizz!

    An extremely palatable fizz, acid balance just right and does not obscure the gratefruit after taste. Very well worth a bottle ( or, in our judgement, a case) and leisurely tasting.

Staff Reviews

  • "When we were asked to nominate the sparkling that we thought could be most likely mistaken for Champagne, the decision at Majestic Wine Berkhamsted was unanimous: Cloudy Bay Pelorus vintage. The reason being, it is simply delicicious! It will rise to every occasion with or without food! It has an elegance, crispness and complexity inherent in a quality sparkling wine. Pelorus Vintage is a complex blend of the classic champagne varieties; pinot noir and chardonnay. Released at four years of age, the style is generous and full-bodied, brimming with richly concentrated fruit and a creamy mousse."
