Wine Orbit
Description
- Dry style
- Pear & nectarine
- Subtle spice
- Crisp & racy
"Pristine and delicately styled with green apple, lemon sorbet, white floral and grapefruit notes on the nose, it's finely focused and linear on the palate displaying pristine fruit flavours backed by racy acidity, finishing long and mouth-watering. Style: Dry. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2021
Light straw. A perfumed wine with nuances of lime, pear and citrus blossom underpinned by spice and nectarine characters. Dry with intense ripe fruit flavours with a crispy, racy and refreshing long finish of mineral and slate.
The 2021 Riesling is made from grapes grown on Mount Riley’s Litchfield and Anderson Vineyards in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. A growing season with warm Summer temperatures gave the perfect conditions for excellent flavour development and the remarkable aromatics that this classic wine is known for.
Grapes were harvested in pristine condition then crushed and destemmed. Fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures in stainless steel to achieve absolute purity of fruit.
Food Pairing: Drinking well now, this wine will continue to improve and develop until 2026. Great as an aperitif or match with seafood, light meats & spicy foods.
