Description
"This is stylishly expressed and elegantly composed; the delicately fragrant bouquet shows mandarin, lemon peel, white stone fruit and apple blossom characters, leading to a finely textured palate that is linear and attractively fruited. The wine offers wonderful purity and vibrancy, making it a fabulous anytime wine. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2017
Aromas of fresh citrus including sweet lime and a hint of orange blossom leap from the glass. On the palate fresh bursts of lime and nectarine combine with a pleasing mineral tone adding complexity and a refreshing mouth-feel.
Sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites in Marlborough’s Omaka and Awatere Valleys, this wine is lightly bodied in style. A wine for immediate drinking although will remain at its best for two to three years from vintage date.
Food Pairing: Drink as an aperitif or combine with fresh seafood or chicken.

Very reasonably priced and stylish wine on the sweeter side of off dry. Showing some pleasant hints of bottle age which complements the subtle minerality and makes it interesting . Very typical of Marlborough Riesling.
