"2015 was a great year for riesling in Martinborough and this is one of the region's best. It is dry, delicately textured and lemon sorbet-infused." John Saker
"Pristine and elegant, the fabulous bouquet shows lime cordial, white nectarine, floral and lemon pith characters, leading to a delicately fruited palate that displays excellent concentration and focus, wonderfully structured by racy acidity. The wine is delightful and elegant, and promises to evolve beautifully. At its best: now to 2022." Sam Kim Wine Orbit, Aug 2016
"An off-dry Riesling with delicate lime zest, white flowers and a suggestion of chalky mineral character. The wine has a pleasingly ethereal texture and lingering finish. Made with a fine touch. Drink 2016 to 2022." Bob Campbell
A brilliant white-gold colour, our 2015 Riesling offers fragrant aromas of honeysuckle, chalk and jasmine blossom. On the palate, a rich entry with flavours of Meyer lemon and mandarin is balanced by a precise mineral acidity.
Martinborough is at the southern end of New Zealand’s North Island. Roughly 90 minutes from Wellington, New Zealand’s capital, this tiny region accounts for less than 2% of the country’s total wine production. Martinborough is protected from the harsh elements by a range of mountains to the southwest and west creating a climate that is mild, breezy, dry and ideal for cool-climate grapes. Most of the premier vineyards are planted on stony terraces that provide exceptional drainage and high mineral content. More than half of Martinborough’s vineyards are planted to Pinot Noir.
