Description

  • Off-dry style
  • Apple & lemon sorbet
  • White florals
  • Lingering finish

"Delicate and super fine, the wine shows fresh apple, lemon sorbet and white floral nuances on the nose, followed by a focused and linear palate that's elegant and persistent. Brilliantly structured by racy acidity, making it firmly structured and engaging. Style: Off-dry" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2022

Fresh and lively aromas of sweet mandarin, juicy green apple bounce off the tongue. The palate is crisp and refreshing with bright citrus characters and an underlying minerality and acid drive. An off dry mouthfeel balances the wine allowing for a long and lingering finish.

These grapes were harvested from selected vineyards predominantly in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley at the peak of flavour development, in the cool of the evening. After fermentation the parcels of fruit were carefully blended together and prepared for bottling.

Food Pairing: Great match with Thai Beef salad or spicy noodles.

This is the wine that lead me to buy from black market. I had it when I was out for dinner & asked where they had bought this from.

Quote x Fiona. It pours like wine, tastes like wine I guess. Thoroughly enjoying this Riesling.

Isobelle - 13/06/2023

This is a refreshing Riesling with medium-dry taste, invigorating green apple, zesty lemon, and subtle lychee undertones. It left a lasting impression. It's a wine that excels in versatility, pairing magnificently with spicy cuisine and offering a rejuvenating experience on its own. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or someone seeking a refreshing delight, with a price tag of $9.99/bottle, this Riesling is undoubtedly worth exploring.

God price, but a little on the dry side for me.

Doug & Lynne - 11/11/2022

not as sweet as some which i like

Barbara - 06/08/2022

Though very quaffable and easily moorish because of its lower alcohol, tastes young and would perhaps have more 'wow'if cellared for another year or so, but it wont get the chance from me!!

Lois - 04/08/2022

Nothing wrong with it but it needs a couple of years of age for my palate which admittedly prefers rieslings with a bit of age. I'm going to lay down 3 bottles because I think it will be good. If you like a dry young riesling you'll probably like this a lot.

Steve - 03/08/2022

A good riesling taste but unfortunately a bit sweet for me-I would rate it as 'medium sweet',as opposed to 'off-dry
