Made in an off-dry style with balanced acidity
Description
- Off-dry style
- Apricot & mandarin
- Floral blossom
- Zesty acidity
Bright lifted aromas reminiscent of spring, floral blossom, fresh lemon and limes jump out of the glass. The palate is light and crisp showing juicy apricot and mandarin flavours with a hint of ginger spice. This Private Bin Riesling is an off-dry style, the natural fruit sweetness is balanced with zesty sherbet-like acidity on the finish.
Our Riesling vineyards are from diverse areas within Marlborough, from the upper Waihopai Valley clays soils, to the river terraces in mid-Wairau valley as well as river terraces in the cooler Awatere Valley. This wine can be enjoyed whilst youthful or with several years of bottle aging to develop softer honeyed notes.
The Marlborough growing season started off well with very little frost pressure during spring. Flowering went without a glitch, due healthy soil moisture levels the canopies looked lush and vibrant. The start of 2022 summer was slightly colder; February was below the long-term average in temperature however the weather settled with a slightly damp autumn.
Food Pairing: Perfect chilled as an aperitif, or serve with lightly spiced Asian cuisine.
