Spy Valley Marlborough Riesling 2016
Description
- Dry style
- Ginger
- Sea-shell
- Clean finish
A bright, golden yellow in the glass, this Riesling is multi-faceted and complex. The wine shows tantalising aromas of ginger, nectarine, sea-shell with anise, nougat and subtle spices. A dry style, the flavour balance is skewed towards the mineral and complex spectrum with powerful underlying fruit. Texture is the key to this wine, with lemon pith, white pepper and spice describing the taste and structure. A clean, vibrant finish that cleanses the palate.
Produced in Marlborough, New Zealand at Johnson Vineyard, Waihopai Valley - alluvial stony silt loam, young stony river-bed terraces and clay/silt loam terrace over free draining alluvium. Grapes for this Riesling were clones GM 110, 239 and 49. Two cane vertical shoot positioning, shoot and bunch thinning to restrict yield. Hand picked over eight passes and the majority of fruit with extended skin contact before gentle pressing. Long natural ferments in oak and stainless steel vessels, on lees until blending pre-Christmas.
Built to age gracefully, the structure will soften over the years and provides the opportunity for extended cellaring. Pleasing drinking from 2017 with no firm expiry date.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with seafood or poultry, particularly with Asian inspired twist for a fantastic food pairing!
