• Region: Marlborough
• Sub-Region: N/A
• Varieties: Riesling

Vineyard A mix of hand-picked and machine-harvested grapes, certified organic, fermented with light solids for an aromatic, dry style. Only free-run juice is used to preserve clarity and a tight acid structure — built, in the winemaker's words, as one of the best cellaring wines around, especially under screwcap.

Wine An excellent bouquet of lime, lemon, peach and sherbet with a lovely white blossom floral quality. Dry on the palate, driven by intense acidity, saline and fresh, becoming juicy and fleshy with pineapple ice-block notes as it opens in the glass.

Food Pairings
