Nelson Riesling 2009
When young our Riesling produces fresh, lively wines which are great for relaxed summertime drinking; however this wine also has a wonderful ability to age, allowing a wider spectrum of flavours to unfold.
Nose: Honeysuckle and citrus/lime characters on the nose with some underlying mineral notes.
Palate: The citrus characters follow through onto the palate with rich lime and citrus fruit flavours, some delicious honey notes and a mineral background and a long fresh finish.
Vintage: Fruit was hand harvested with the grapes being whole bunch pressed and the juice cool fermented to preserve primary fruit characters. A small amount of residual sugar was retained to provide balance to the natural fruit acids.
Alcohol: 12.0% Residual Sugar: 19 gms/L Acidity: 7.7 gms/L
"Pale, bright and ideal summer drinking this easy style Riesling is just bursting with clean mandarin and lime flavours."
- Katryn Fortescue, The Press, February 2010

"Attractive, off-dry and easy to drink, with hints of tropical fruit and citrus and a bright, zingy finish."
