Produced from estate-grown Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the cool maritime vineyards of Kaikōura, Esses Evolve NV is a late-disgorged Méthode Traditionnelle sparkling that speaks to restraint and refinement. Hand-harvested fruit is gently pressed and fermented to a finely balanced base wine before secondary fermentation in bottle and a minimum 36 months on lees. Extended autolytic ageing imparts layers of brioche, toasted almond and delicate pastry while preserving bright, site-driven freshness.
The non-vintage blend marries the vibrancy of younger components with the depth of reserves, opening to citrus blossom, green apple and white peach, framed by subtle notes of freshly baked bread and hazelnut. On the palate it is elegant and harmonious, driven by fine mousse, vivid acidity and a long, mineral-etched finish—an exercise in texture and finesse.
