Riesling

RACY, AROMATIC, DIVERSE. NATURALLY VIBRANT WITH A ZESTY ACIDITY: THE WINE FOR ASIAN CUISINE.

Food Matching

New Zealand Riesling’s combination of fruit intensity, citrus notes and refreshing acidity complement the subtle flavours of Japanese tempura.

Think spice, flowers, minerals, limes and peaches. I tasted mostly dry and off -dry  versions, and the fruit was plentiful and pure and in balance with the acid.” Jerry Shriver, USA Today

A great alternative to German Mosel Rieslings. NZ Riesling ranges from bone dry & steely to luscious & sweet. Most lean towards an off-dry style with artfully balanced zesty citrus & lime. Young wines often show the fragrant aromas of apple, citrus, lemon & tropical fruit. With age, toasted honey & sometimes kerosene characters can develop. The cooler South Island produces the majority of our Riesling.
