Urlar Wairarapa Riesling 2017

Description

In homage to its stony origins, this dry style riesling has underlying mineral and river stone flavours. A mineral wine with florals, lime zest, lemon blossom aromas. A vibrant, saline palate and momemade lemonade, citrus skin length. The palate has a focussed acidity and zesty fruit making it delicious to drink now although cellaring for five years or more will be richly rewarded.

Proudly, family owned. The winemakers vision is to produce outstanding single vineyard wines that reflect their origins. They feel the only way to give integrity to this vision is to grow grapes and make wine util ising both organic and biodynamic principles. Urlar; Gaelic for the Earth, is the heart of their farming system. The desire is to bring an abundance of life back to these ancient soils, so you can discover the purity of flavour that is inherent in the land.

In keeping with traditional techniques, the grapes were hand harvested and selected bunches were gently pressed to maximise fruit concentration. Aromatic yeasts together with low fermentation temperatures ensure the uniqueness of flavours from the site were captured.

Food Pairing: This wine is the perfect match with lightly spiced tapas, Asian food and freshly caught fish.
