Being a lover of NZ Savvy I was looking forward to serving this. My wife’s and my reaction was the same from the sniff to the finish – Terrible! For my notes see http://tinyurl.com/blx4ssy
Sorry for your bad experience. Sparkling wines like regular wines are also susceptible to faults. I also found that sparklings from Australia and NZ seems to be more prevelant for faults, which may be a result of a transportation/storage problem.
