Immaculately balanced by rich sweetness & fine acidity
Description
- Medium-sweet style
- Tangerine & lime
- Fine acidity
- Long, cleansing finish
Apricots and mandarin juice dominate the nose of this wine in its youth. This medium-sweet Riesling is inspired by the Spältese wines of Germany. The palate is filled with lively notes of tangerine and lime, with an immaculately balanced rich sweetness and fine acidity that are brought to completion by a very long and cleansing finish.
Grapes for this Riesling were sourced from the Parkburn vineyard in the Cromwell region of Central Otago.
Fermented in stainless steel at 15 degrees to retain aromatics and finesse. Stopped at its point of sugar/acid balance then racked, filtered and bottled.
Food Pairing: Easily enjoyed as an aperitif, or with long lunches, cheese, or spicy dishes, this wine will continue to evolve over the next decade.
