Wine of the Week

23 February 2004

Morton Premium Brut
New Zealand
£9.99, Bring-a-Bottle

New Zealand is famous for making bubbly that is virtually indistinguishable from Champagne. Well, this one starts out with a heady smell of brioche smeared with butter and fresh grilled hazelnuts, but the ebullient fruit won't be silenced and the brioche and nuts get elbowed aside by a true southern seas flavour of kiwi fruit and green pea splashed with honey.
