Spy Valley Marlborough Riesling 2019

Description

Dry, Floral, Lime

Lifted lime, honeysuckle and river stone on the nose. This wine has several years of age and so is now showing beautiful aromatics of an older Riesling. The powerful structure of this wine should see it continue to age gracefully for many years to come – enjoy the ageing process of one of the stand out varieties at Spy Valley.

2019 was a very dry and warm growing season bringing with it small yields with great fruit concentration. One of our earliest harvests with picking starting at the beginning of March and completed by early April.

Fruit was harvested from our 3 Riesling Blocks on the Waihopai Valley site over a period of 3 weeks. Harvested at peak ripeness, tank fermented and matured for 3 years prior to bottling in May 2022.
