Tasting Notes:

With floral aromas of lemon and lime, citrus blossom and perfumed hints of musk, pineapple and apricot the aromatics of this wine are instantly inviting. Flavours of honey, apricot, papaya and orange are backed by lovely mineral overtones, a sweet crisp acidity and a fresh lasting finish. 

Technical:

The Awatere Valley is known for its relatively harsh climate with strong winds and morning frosts in spring working to harden the vines for the high temperatures of summer followed by the cool nights in autumn. As a result the vines struggle and we are able to harvest small, well matured grapes of typical Awatere finesse and flavour. The 2016 Riesling is a pure, sustainable, single vineyard Awatere Valley wine. 

Helped by the warm 2016 season, the vines were in perfect condition at harvest time and the fruit were beautifully ripe and full of flavour. Minimal leaf plucking meant the grapes were exposed to the right amount of sunlight and as a result they ripened slowly which allowed the flavours to build up over time. Once in the press the bunches were squeezed a little bit and then left for 2 hours. This allowed a small amount of extracted juice to be in contact with the skins and pick up some of the flavour. The juice was then fermented very slowly until there was a perfect balance between the natural acidity and the residual sugar. 


Accolades & Awards:

94 Points & 5 Stars Wine Orbit 

A fabulous medium-style riesling. The elegantly expressed bouquet shows pristine aromas of white nectarine, lemon sorbet, mandarin and floral. The palate is concentrated, yet light and delicate, with attractive sweetness and bright acidity. Wonderfully balanced and immensely appealing, this is gorgeous drinking now and should also develop magnificently.


4 Star Raymond Chan

Bright, very pale straw-yellow colour with green hues, very light on the edge. The nose is delicate with pure and refined, tightly-held aromas of white florals harmoniously entwined with lime fruit and mouthwatering wet-stone elements, unfolding nuances of honeysuckle and sherbet. Medium in sweetness and light bodied, gentle and soft flavours of limes, white florals and honeysuckle show with subtle, youthful, herbal suggestions, forming a tight, soft core. The mouthfeel is very soft and refined in texture and flows with gentle energy. The acidity is soft and lacy, and the wine flows smoothly to a lingering finish of limes, florals and fresh herbs. This is a reserved and refined medium-sweet Riesling in the Mosel Kabinett style.
