Tasting Notes
Appearance
This Riesling presents a pale straw hue with brilliant clarity, reflecting its cool-climate origins and careful winemaking.
Aroma
Vibrant lemon and lime dominate the aromatic profile, layered over delicate white floral nuances. Subtle hints of pink grapefruit and ginger spice add complexity, whilst a signature citrus blossom scent provides an inviting lift.
Palate
The palate is lively, tight and elegant with exceptional purity of fruit on the front and mid-palate. A chalky acid line provides structure and length, balanced by refreshing wet slate acidity that delivers a crisp, clean zip. The finish is enduring, showcasing traditional flavours of lime, lemon and mandarin with subtle pithy grapefruit bite. This wine is approachable now but has excellent cellar potential.
Pairs With
This Riesling is the perfect pairing with your favourite seafood, citrus-inspired Thai and Malaysian dishes, fresh oysters, grilled prawns, or delicate white fish preparations.
