Lawson's Dry Hills Estate Marlborough Riesling 2019

Description

• Dry style
• Red apple
• Lemon & lime
• Crisp

This wine is bright, fresh and aromatic showing lovely lemon, lime, red apple and subtle floral notes. The palate is crisp and just off-dry with lovely length and minerality. With its naturally high acidity, good quality Riesling with intense flavours such as this one, age beautifully. Five years plus – no problem at all.

This is a single vineyard wine produced from a single pick from our Waihopai block in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys. The 2019 vintage was great for Riesling and allowed is to pick at the perfect time.

Once picked in the cool of the early morning, the grapes are gently pressed with only the free-run juice being fermented to make this wine. The juice is inoculated and fermented at low temperature (10-12C) to retain the wine natural bright fruit aromatics.

Food Pairing: Brilliant aperitif, but also good with soft, white cheeses, feta, fresh seafood with lemon or lime flavours, poached or smoked fish, salads, green vegetable dishes, fresh summer herbs.
