Description
- Off-dry style
- Granny Smith apple
- Lime zest
- Racy acidity
"It's beautifully ripe and delicately lifted on the nose showing Granny Smith apple, peach, fig and lime zest characters. The palate delivers elegant weight and linear mouthfeel, well supported by a hint of sweetness and racy acidity, offering a lingering mouth-watering finish. Style: Off-dry. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2020
This Mt Olympus Riesling is from select vineyards predominantly in Marlborough’s Awatere valley. It is a fruit driven, easy drinking style with flavours of mandarin, green apple and lime zest. Perfect for drinking immediately or will continue to develop over the next two to three years from vintage date.
Mt Olympus overlooks the clean green valley and the flourishing vineyards of Marlborough. Renowned for producing some of the world’s best and most sought after wines.
The grapes were harvested at the peak of flavour development in the cool of the evening. It was then fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation the wine was carefully blended, then balanced, stabilised and prepared for bottling.
Food Pairing: An ideal match with fresh Wairau River whitebait.

At $8.99 per bottle with free postage, I wasn’t expecting it to be so good, but it rate it as one of the best wines I’ve had for under $20

This was an amazing find. Went well with fish and our guests quickly decided to order some. We have found it a wonderful partner with risottos , lamb and salads.

Hi, I purchased this Riesling wine to put in my cellar for about 4-5 years, as I prefer Riesling wine with some age before drinking.....will try to remember to give a rating !!
Warwick - 01/08/2022
A great wine for a great price. Will order again
Megan - 15/07/2022
Unfortunately sweeter than I thought I'd ordered
Mary - 19/11/2021
Fruity at first and dry on the finish. A very enjoyable wine. Appreciate the lower alcohol level too! Will buy again.
Catherine - 13/08/2021
Hard to beat the value here. Lower alcohol, lighter wine but great on a summer's day with a salad.

Light and almost dry, very clean tasting. Good value.
Barry - 26/04/2021
A nice wee tipple, not your classic riesling, almost has a Sauvignon leaning, but definately great value and a nice wine on a summers afternoon
Stephen - 28/02/2021
A little light in taste
Dennis - 30/12/2020
A little sweet for me,which is why I give it only 3 stars-for those who like a medium sweet riesling it is a good buy
