Light straw colour in the glass with a perfumed bouquet with nuances of lime, pear and citrus blossom underpinned by spice and nectarine characters. Palate is dry with intense ripe fruit flavours with a crisp, racy and refreshing long finish of mineral and slate.
This 2017 Riesling from Mount Riley is made from grapes grown on Mount Riley’s Litchfield and Anderson Vineyards in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. A perfect growing season with warm summer temperatures gave the perfect conditions for excellent flavour development and the remarkable aromatics that this classic wine is known for. Grapes were harvested in pristine condition then crushed and destemmed. Fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures in stainless steel to achieve absolute purity of fruit. Drinking well now, but this wine will continue to improve and develop until 2022.
Food Pairing: Great as an aperitif or matched with seafood, light meats & spicy foods.
