2021 Riesling
Produced from a small planting of Riesling, planted on the higher terrace of the Te Muna Road Vineyard, this wine exhibits a juicy texture that is distinctly Martinborough. These grapes were hand-picked, and whole bunch pressed, then fermented cool and left on lees for some four months after vintage resulting in a deeply expressive wine with poise and elegance.
Tasting Notes
Very pale straw-lemon in colour. Aromas of lemon curd, kaffir lime leaf, and rose petal. The palate is taut and long, with a crunchy lemon acid driving long through the finish. The mid-palate has a delicious pithiness, with varietal flavours of mandarin, grapefruit, and lime. A salivating wine that celebrates the freshness of this variety and the Te Muna site.
Recommended Cellaring
1 to 12 years from vintage

A cold and windy spring resulted in lower than average crops. However, followed by a warm summer with cool nights. Pristine and typical.
