Mount Olympus Marlborough Riesling 2020

Description

• Off-dry style
• Granny Smith apple

"It's beautifully ripe and delicately lifted on the nose showing Granny Smith apple, peach, fig and lime zest characters. The palate delivers elegant weight and linear mouthfeel, well supported by a hint of sweetness and racy acidity, offering a lingering mouth-watering finish. Style: Off-dry. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2020

This Mt Olympus Riesling is from select vineyards predominantly in Marlborough’s Awatere valley. It is a fruit driven, easy drinking style with flavours of mandarin, green apple and lime zest. Perfect for drinking immediately or will continue to develop over the next two to three years from vintage date.

Mt Olympus overlooks the clean green valley and the flourishing vineyards of Marlborough. Renowned for producing some of the world’s best and most sought after wines.

The grapes were harvested at  the peak of flavour development in the cool of the evening. It was then fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation the wine was carefully blended, then balanced, stabilised and prepared for bottling.

Food Pairing: An ideal match with fresh Wairau River whitebait.
