Pelorus Vintage 1999,"This is one of the deeper and richer bouquets in the blind tasting,with good autolysis somewhat reminiscent of NV Bolliner,plus some cashew and nougat suggestations,and a hint of marzipan.

Palate is rich,tasting of pinot noir,and with more body than is typical in premium Methode all suffused by mealy yeast autolysis"....Source Geoff Kelly's Wine Reviews,Jan 2004.

Pelorus is the sparkling wine label of Cloudy Bay Vineyards.First produced in 1987,chardonnay and pinot noir are sourced from selected sites throughtout the Wairau Valley.Sunny skies and the long cool summer days of these southerly latitudes ensure the slow ripening essential for achieving the elegance,crispness and complexity inherent in quality sparkling wine
