"A subtle, restrained nose with hints of citrus leaves, Rose's lime juice, sweet alyssum flowers and jasmine. A clean, bone-dry style, somewhat reticent at this stage with lively acidity on the finish. For fans of a more vinous, restrained style" NZ Wine Rater
Aromas of citrus zest, green apple and hints of spring florals. Mouth-filling apple, lemon, lime and white peach on the palate. Abundant natural acidity and mineral notes -will continue to develop with careful cellaring.
Awatere Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand. Puketapu Block. Planted 2002. 2.89ha. Dashwood shallow silt loam. Handcrafted crisp and vibrant dry-style Riesling harvested from the Puketapu block. Lively and fruit-forward, with great cellaring potential.
Wet, unsettled early summer, with lower yields. Warm dry summer that followed, with lower crop levels provided a dream run for both the vineyard and winemaking teams. No disease pressure and ideal weather over the harvest period, resulted in a wine with outstanding aromatics, purity and concentration.
Single parcel of carefully hand-picked grapes. Clear free-run pressed juice was transferred directly to stainless steel tanks. Harder pressings were allowed to gently oxidise in order to soften harsh phenolics before blending. Fermented with a specialist Riesling yeast at cool temperatures to capture aromatics and freshness. The wine was racked off yeast lees and left in tank allowing flavour compounds to develop and integrate.
