Description
"This is a fabulous Riesling showing fragrant aromas of lemon curd, mandarin, floral and white stone fruit on the nose. The palate is juicy and vibrant with subtle sweetness and perfectly pitched acidity, leading to a lingering delicious finish. Youthful and immensely attractive. Off-dry. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2016
"A flavoursome Riesling, with orange zest plus a hint of mango and apricot. A delicately succulent wine in a medium-dry style. Nice purity and good support from fruity acidity" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jan 2016
Fragrant, perfumed nose, reminiscent ripe lemon and mandarin. Hints of beeswax, floral orange blossom and flint add layers of complexity. Gently off-dry, concentrated and juicy palate with classical ripe Marlborough Riesling flavors from gentle limes through to mandarin and nectarine. The weighty mouthfeel is electrified by a fine acidity which is in turn balanced perfectly with a hint of residual sweetness.
Ribbonwood 2015 Riesling is made from a combination of well ripened fruit grown on the winemakers estate and from selected sites around the Wairau Valley. Made in an off dry style, the stony, boney, ex-river bed soils impart a distinctive mineral undertone into this delicate and elegant wine.
Food Pairing: Ribbonwood Marlborough Riesling is a great aperitif to get the juices flowing before dinner and is equally at home with light summer lunches on the deck. Pair with seafood or Asian-influenced cuisine and pork.
