Central Otago in bubbles rush (NZ)

Lovers of Central Otago champagne-style wines will soon have more to choose from as sparkling wine production in the region is set to expand. Veteran winemaker Rudi Bauer, based at Quartz Reef, said more winemakers in the region were joining the sparkling wine market after seeing the success of other vineyards in the area. The “leaders of the pack” like Quartz Reef were showing success from their sparkling wine production and the market could expect “steady growth” as more vineyards jump on board, reports The Southland Times.
