Chardonnay

Origin
The Lindauer Special Reserve range is a step up from the standard range, spending 24 months on its lees rather than the usual 15 months. This Blanc de Blancs NV comes from 100% Chardonnay grapes, which also give Champagne their elegance.
Taste
Elegant citrus fruit, a slight creaminess and fine, soft bubbles make this balanced sparkling wine a real bargain and a fantastic, if slightly lighter alternative, to Champagne.
Enjoy
Brilliant as an apéritif due to its subtle elegance, it's also a superb partner to shellfish.

    Lindauer

    I would have to disagree with Malcolm with this one - sorry Malcolm! I may have have a duff bottle but I found this wine very thin, too acidic and lacking in fruit to balance it out. If you have to chill a white wine to a inch of its life to make it drinkable then it isnt worth buying. Get the Codorniu raventos at the same price-knocks spots of this

    Fresh and Fruity Fizz

    This sparkling wine from New Zealand has lots of fruity flavour without being sweet. Perfect for a summers day outside with friends or a winters evening in front of the telly. The best anytime easy drinking fizz we have found.

    A real celebration drink - and everyday pick me up

    When I first bought this wine, it was a mistake as I meant to buy the Brut Cuve reserve. However, this is much nicer and was enjoyed by everyone who complimented the glass. It was this that was favourably compared to the expensive champagne. Why spend £250 just for show, £10 is just as tasty for many. I cannot distinguish between this and £80 bottles - and Ive only had the more costly when someone has paid! Just got another case

    Better then expected

    I bought this by mistake thinking it to be the ordinary special reserve not the Blanc de Blanc. I was pleasantly surprised, a very elegant sparkling wine.

    Infinitely preferable to cheap champagne

    This is the ideal fizz for enjoying as an aperitif. Much better than any of the cheaper champagnes I've tried.

Press Reviews

  • "A revelation. For years the cheaper Antipodean sparklers have been a crashing disappointment, but this new Gisborne and Hawke’s Bay-sourced champagne-method chardonnay from Lindauer, with lots of fat, ripe and really rather fine, smoky, lemony, zesty fruit on board, is a delight. Precisely the sort of superior, yet keenly priced, crowd-pleaser that April party hosts need."
