Description
- Off-dry style
- Orange sherbert
- Lifted florals
- Vibrant acidity
"Lovely aromatics and floral lift with vibrant scents of citrus and white rose, lemon and fleshy green apple, a touch of sherbet and white spice. As the wine opens out on the palate the flavours expand and get louder yet retain some finesse and charm. Floral, fruity and fresh with a layer of sweet acidity and big lick of residual sugar for contrast and medium-dry ranking. Mineral, fresh, floral and lengthy, a delicious wine ready to drink from day of purchase through 2030" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Nov 2024
The 2024 has a bright fruit nose with orange sherbert, lime and tangelo notes. The palate is off-dry, balancing the vibrant core of acidity, with bright fruit splashes of grapefruit, lime and yuzu. Finishes fresh and light. Best from 2025-2030.
The Carrick Bannockburn Riesling reflects the dramatic landscape of Bannockburn, bright, zesty and full of life. An off-dry style that captures 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 is halted when the sweetness and acidity is in balance.
Food Match: Grilled fish with capers and a squeeze of orange.
