Description

  • Off-dry style
  • White peach
  • Cherry blossom
  • Lingering finish

"This is instantly appealing on the nose showing orange peel, lemon zest, red apple and floral aromas with a hint of toasty nuance. The succulent palate displays excellent fruit intensity and persistency, while remaining elegant and linear with a lengthy delicious finish. The wine offers terrific balance between subtle sweetness and juicy acidity" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2022

Fresh and lively aromas of juicy white peach and green apple bounce off the tongue. The palate is crisp and refreshing with bright citrus characters and a hint of cherry blossom. An underlying minerality balances the wine allowing for a long, lingering finish.

These grapes were harvested from selected vineyards within Marlborough’s Wairau 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: A lovely aperitif wine to have on its own or a fabulous match with Thai and Indian cuisine.

Incredible value for money. Classic Riesling which is less sweet than the average Riesling. I will definitely buy again

Piercing acidity, freshness, lime, and subtle beeswax aftertaste. Value. Cellaring potential here.

Lindsay - 10/07/2023

A tad sweet per my preference of almost dead dry. But nice none the less. I will buy again
