Seth Extra Brut Cuvée NV (Sold Out)

WINEMAKING:
Seth is a combination of the 2017 earthquake vintage and the 2018 vintage. The 2017 harvest was gently whole bunch pressed on the vineyard in a traditional wooden basket press. It was then transported 7 hours due to the roads closed from landslides to the other side of Marlborough, and matured in the winery for nearly two years before being blended with our 2018 vintage and undergoing tirage.

Dosage: 6g/l                                                      Time on Lees: 48 months                                              Bottles Released: 1,777

REVIEWS:

Rich, creamy wine with ginger, brioche, and citrus flavours supported by mellow acidity.
95/100 – Bob Campbell MW

Youthful and lifted bouquet with scents of white smoke, citrus, white peach and yellow apple, all laced with a fine autolysis suggesting brioche and oatmeal bread. Dry with an excellent weight and energy, youthful and plush with a vibrant velvet textured mousse. Acidity keeps the palate fresh and accentuates the citrus and autolysis highlights. Balanced, well made and ready with a citrus peel, peach and apple fruits quality.
94/100 – Cameron Douglas MS

This has a soft bouquet, unfolding aromas of orchard fruit, citrus, sea minerals, pastry and yeasty autolysis. Medium-full bodied, aromas of apple, lemon and a suggestion of pineapple melded with sea shells, warm pastry and delicate spice. This wine shows lively acidity and youth, enriched by toasty autolysis details. Creamy and vibrant mousse injects freshness and lends an appetising finish.
18.5/20 pts (93 pts) – Candice Chow

This fresh, racy, non-vintage wine (4.5*) was estate-grown in Kaikoura and disgorged after maturing on its yeast lees for over four years. It is bright, light lemon/green, with crisp, citrusy, yeasty, very vigorous flavours, biscuity notes adding complexity, and a smooth finish.
