"Sweet, subtly succulent Riesling with lime, honey and wildflower flavours. A delicate, perfectly balanced wine with impressive purity. Serve well-chilled as a satisfying aperitif" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jun 2019

Ma chérie (my darling, sweet one) Late Harvest Riesling is a refreshing, sweet style balanced with vibrant acidity that dances across the palate. Employing sensitive farming and winemaking practices, the vines are hand tended and the grapes gently handled.

The FOX by John Belsham wines are a collection of vegan, sustainably produced wines with one tree planted for every case sold.

Fox is named after the explorer William Fox who named a tributary island in Marlborough, Foxes Island and in the Southern Alps, a glacier, called Fox Glacier. Sarah Featon painted the botanicals that grace the label in the late 19th century; compiling the most extensive documentation of native NZ flora.

Food Pairing: Enjoy as an aperitif, with the main course or for a sweet ending to a meal. Pair with blue cheeses, spicy dishes or as a dessert, with apple or fruit tarts, flan and crème brûlée.
