Spy Valley Marlborough Riesling 2023

Description

Dry, Floral, Lime

"Presented as a dry style with a bouquet of fresh red and green apple, orange blossom and lime. There’s a natural mineral quality with wet pebbles and greywacke ideas. Lime and citrus along acidity touch the palate simultaneously leading to a saline salivating effect then flavours tree fruit. Crisp and refreshing with best drinking from 2028 through 2034+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jun 2025

Delicate floral aromas and citrus peel notes. Rest rained yet elegant, with layers of lemon and melon that linger through a crisp, dry finish.

An excellent flowering period and consistent rainfall resulted in even crops and heal thy canopies. As a result , our start date was later , giving the fruit extra ‘hang time’ to develop more flavours across all varieties.

Our Lodge Block Riesling is located on the stony, alluvial flood plain of the Omaka River . Harvested at peak flavour maturity, gently pressed and the juice tasted throughout the press cycle to capture the essence of this variety. The wine was prepared for bottling following a short time in tank on light yeast lees.
