NO. 1 FAMILY ESTATE ROSE MARLBOROUGH METHODE TRADTIONELLE
NO. 1 FAMILY ESTATE ROSE MARLBOROUGH METHODE TRADTIONELLE, MARLBOROUGH, NEW ZEALAND. 100% Pinot Noir.
91 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The pale, coppery NV No 1 Rose is 100% Pinot Noir. It's slightly richer and tastes riper than the other NV bottlings and differs considerably in flavor as well, with hints of wild, alpine strawberries, lime and a subtle toasty element. It's medium-bodied, with a fine, almost creamy mouthfeel and a tart, refreshing finish."
From the Winemaker: "A fresh, youthful and precise bouquet. Softly fruited and seductive with lees laced light red fruits. Aromas of flowers, cherry and strawberries. Toasty quality and developing complexity as the wine relaxes in glass.
The wine offers a seamless balance of subtle cherry and almond hints combined with a fine acidity. Pretty crushed strawberry flavors and hints of yeasty autolysis. Dry and elegant with a fine and silky mousse."
About: No.1 Family Estate is a specialist and boutique Méthode Traditionelle winery founded by Adele and Daniel Le Brun. It is the only winery in New Zealand committed exclusively to producing premium Méthode Traditionelle wine. The award-winning winemaker has created wines that rival the best in the world using methods perfected over twelve generations by his family in Champagne.
The first record of a Le Brun planting vines in Champagne is in 1684. After studying winemaking and working at the family winery in Champagne, Daniel visited New Zealand, saw the huge potential and emigrated. Since 1980 Daniel has pioneered growing techniques and production methods unknown in New Zealand at that time. He could see that the climate and soils of Marlborough would create a Méthode Traditionelle with crisp acidity that would rival his native Champagne. Our vineyard lies in the ancient riverbed of the Wairau River. It is mainly flat terrain with soil that is a mixture of river stones, sandy loams and gravels which are ideal for growing the traditional champagne clones of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier.
Exactly as the name suggests, No.1 Family Estate is a family business. While Daniel makes the wine, his wife Adele provides the business and marketing flair. The next generation of Le Bruns, son Remy and daughter Virginie, are the faces of the future and are actively involved. The Le Brun family excel at their passion for producing some of the highest quality Méthode Traditionelle in New Zealand.
