5 STARS (94 POINTS) - Wine Orbit
" Offering excellent fruit purity and poise, the wine shows crisp apple, lemon sorbet, and green pear notes on the nose. It's focused and linear on the palate with a whispering sweetness and beautifully pitched acidity, finishing mouth-watering and lingering. Style: Off-dry." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

VINTAGE 2024 TASTING NOTES
COLOUR: Light lime in colour.
NOSE AND PALATE: Enticing floral notes of lime, lemon and mandarin showcase classical Riesling characteristics. Off-dry in style with notes of lemon curd, white blossom and a lovely long acidity combine to make this a delicious wine.
VINEYARD REGION: 100% Waipara, North Canterbury
WINEMAKING: The fruit was in excellent condition given the hot, dry summer with moderate yields across the Riesling block. Following regular assessment of the developing fruit flavours, the Riesling was hand-picked harvested and transported to the winery in bins where the fruit was crushed then gently pressed to tank where it was allowed to settle for 48 hours. The juice was then racked to tank for fermentation using an aromatic yeast. Cool fermented, the fermenting wine was tasted daily and when the balance felt right between the fruit, acidity and residual sugar, the ferment was stopped by chilling down to zero. The wine stayed on its lees for a further month to build texture and richness then racked off its gross lees and stored in tank until bottling.
