"A delicious wine with flavours of fresh pear and lemon, apple and chalky mineral qualities. An off-dry expression with a decent lick of sweetness, back bone of contrasting acidity and lengthy fruity finish. refreshing and ready to drink from 2024 through 2030+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Dec 2023
"An initial impression of sweetness quickly takes a back-seat to assertive and slightly green acidity. Between them they give the wine appealing tension. Taste it with lemon curd and prepare to be surprised" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jan 2024
"A vibrant Riesling treading the line between dry and off-dry, spilling aromas of lime and white blossom from the glass. The palate has a bright acid line, creating a zingy fresh mouthfeel, with notes of mandarin, green apple, and lemon sherbet" Rosie Menzies, Winemaker
The Carrick Bannockburn Riesling reflects the dramatic landscape of Bannockburn, capturing bright citrus fruit, and a vibrant acidity, which is softened by a dollop of natural sweetness. Capturing the essence of a classic Central Otago Riesling.
Our Riesling parcel is planted entirely on its own roots and benefits from this direct connection with the earth. Each vine is carefully tended by hand during the season, then hand-picked to drop any fruit that is not up to par. Once at the winery, the fruit is whole bunch pressed and wild fermented at ambient temperature. The ferment was halted when the residual sugar and acidity was in balance.
