Description
"Offering terrific value, this is a distinctly medium style of Riesling, with loads of drink-young charm. Attractively scented, with strong, vibrant, citrusy flavours, hints of passionfruit and ginger, and mouth-watering acidity, it reflects the superb growing season in North Canterbury" Michael Cooper, Michael Cooper's Buyer's Guide 2018, Nov 2017
Pale gold in the glass with lovely aromas of citrus, ginger and spring florals. A crisp and refreshing palate full of wonderful fruit concentration. The finish is enticingly mouth-watering with a hint of natural sweetness.
The fruit for this lively Riesling was sourced from blocks at our Deans and The Mound Vineyards in the Waipara Valley. After delivery to the winery the grapes were gently pressed. A portion was allowed 6 - 12 hours skin contact to help enhance the varietal character and to add structure and depth. Once pressed, only the free run juice was settled and fermented with a range of yeasts at cool temperatures for three weeks. The lees were then racked off and kept chilled for three additional weeks before blending. Potential cellaring up to 5 Years.

We loved this Riesling. Has a very good balance of sweet with good acidity backbone. Waipara is one of our most favourite Riesling areas. Definitely recommend.
