Mount Olympus Marlborough Riesling 2021

Description

Apple, Lime, Off-dry

"Bright, even, pale yellow with a slight green hue. The nose is full, with aromas of apple, lime, jasmine and a whiff of petroleum. Light-bodied, dry to taste, aromas of green apple and lime have a soft edge, melded with blossom and apple skins. Zingy acidity leads a refreshing drive, along with an apple skins-like texture and lends a crisp finish" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Apr 2025

"Bottle age and a decent vintage have delivered a wine with a distinctive bouquet of limes, green apple and kero’. These ideas flow through the palate as well with a decent line of acidity to frame the core fruit flavours. Persistent and crisp, ready to drink from day of purchase through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

It is a fruit driven, easy drinking style with flavours of mandarin, granny smith apple and sweet 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. This Mt Olympus Riesling is from select vineyards predominantly in Marlborough’s Awatere valley. 

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 Thai Beef salad.
