Marlborough Riesling
2023
A polished take on Riesling with lime, orchard notes and gentle minerality leaving the palate refreshed and searching for more.
Single Vineyard Marlborough Riesling
A classic single vineyard Riesling with good body and complex flavours. Crafted from our Cowslip Valley Vineyard in the Waihopai Valley, offering flavours of lemon, apricot and lime with a juicy, tart finish.
Tasting Notes
Lime and white florals with stone fruit, apple, pear and an underlying slate note. Fresh and pretty.
Fresh and juicy on entry, with sweet lime, tangerine and exotic fruits carried by a driving mineral line. Poised and lively through the mid-palate, showing good breadth and depth. Precise and persistent.

Winemaker Notes
We encouraged the development of Noble Rot desired for richness and complexity. Once attained the grapes where picked, quickly pressed and settled. Fermentation was halted before complete dryness retaining a level of natural sweetness in balance with the acidity of the wine. This was followed by 27 months on lees.
Food Pairing
An excellent partner to a wide range of foods, ideal with Asian dishes, or try it with mussel and kumara patties, drizzled with home-made lime-spiked mayonnaise.
