Notes

Fruit comes from two of New Zealand’s outstanding cool climate grape growing regions. Waipara in North Canterbury, with its cool, dry climate and good sunshine offering wonderful floral aromatics, and Marlborough, renowned for its long warm days and cool evenings, adds a textural element, richness, citrus flavours and ageability. With lower temperatures during 2022 summer months in both regions, this allowed a long slow ripening period which was perfect for concentrated flavour development and retaining acid levels. This vivacious Riesling is a crowd favourite! Enjoy striking notes of lime and mandarin and delicious, succulent, juicy sweetness.

Food Pairing

A Vietnamese chicken salad with fresh mint, coriander and a touch of fresh chilli.
