2024 VINTAGE
5 STARS (93 POINTS) - Wine Orbit
RECOMMENDED - Cameron Douglas MS

"Flavours of red and green apple, citrus peel and green melon, a wine of crispness and freshness, a nice strong in the acid line, salivating and dry o the finish. While there’s a tickle of residual sweet the fruit and acid line deliver a wine in an aperitif style and food friendly attributes. Perhaps best served alongside flounder fillets with a lemon bitter sauce and mint." - Cameron Douglas, Recommended

"Pristine and finely expressed, the bouquet shows crisp apple, lime peel, and white flower nuances, followed by a delicately textured palate that's juicy and focused. The wine is delightfully balanced with subtle sweetness and bright acidity, offering fabulous drinking. Style: off dry" - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

COLOUR: Pale straw green.

NOSE AND PALATE:  Enticing floral notes of lime, lemon and mandarin showcase classical Riesling characteristics. Off-dry in style with notes of lemon curd, white blossom and a lovely long acidity combine to make this a delicious wine.

REGION: 100% Waipara Valley, North Canterbury

WINEMAKING: Following regular assessment of the developing fruit flavours, the Riesling was harvested and transported to the winery where the fruit was crushed then gently pressed to tank where it was allowed to settle for 48 hours. The juice was then racked to tank for fermentation using an aromatic yeast. As the fermentation finished the wine was then chilled to retain a small of residual sugar. The wine stayed on its lees for a further month to build texture and richness then racked off its gross lees and stored in tank until bottling.
