Lindauer Cuvée Special Reserve Blanc de Blancs Brut is a non-vintage sparkling white wine hailing from Marlborough in New Zealand, crafted entirely from white grape varieties. As a blanc de blancs, the wine is most likely made from 100% Chardonnay, a grape renowned for imparting finesse, freshness, and elegant citrus notes to sparkling wines. Vinified using the traditional method (méthode traditionnelle), this wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, producing a persistent and refined mousse as well as complex autolytic notes such as brioche, toasted bread and almonds, balanced by lively green apple, lemon zest and white blossom aromas. The non-vintage designation ensures a consistent house style, blending several years' base wines for balance and approachability.
Marlborough is New Zealand’s most prestigious wine region, famed for its cool maritime climate and long, sunny growing season. The combination of warm daytime temperatures and brisk, cooling nights, alongside alluvial soils rich in gravel and clay, encourages grapes to ripen slowly, preserving vivid acidity and bright fruit flavours essential for top sparkling wines. Although Marlborough is globally celebrated for its Sauvignon Blanc, it has proven itself a superb terroir for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, lending complexity and finesse to méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines such as those from Lindauer. The region's relatively young viticultural history, dating back to the late 20th century, is marked by innovation and an enthusiasm for drawing out purity, elegance, and vibrancy from its grapes.
This sparkling wine is supremely versatile with food. Its crisp acidity and fine bubbles cut perfectly through richer dishes, making it a lovely companion for oysters, pan-seared scallops, fresh shellfish, and sushi. The wine also pairs beautifully with lightly fried dishes, such as tempura, or with New Zealand’s famous green-lipped mussels. For a regional touch, consider it alongside local smoked fish or soft goat’s cheeses – the wine’s lemony edge and creamy texture will elevate the flavours.
For best enjoyment, serve this wine well chilled, at 6-8°C. Pour into elegant flutes to showcase the fine effervescence, and take a moment to appreciate both its freshness and the subtle complexity brought by the traditional method.
