AWARDS & REVIEWS: 
5 STARS - Wine Orbit, Feb 2024

“Charming and delightfully fragrant, showing apricot, mandarin, lime peel and jasmine nuances, leading to an exuberant palate that’s juicy and finely focused. Beautifully complemented by elegant sweetness and bright acidity, finishing persistent and delectable." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

COLOUR: Light lime in colour.

NOSE AND PALATE: Enticing floral notes of lime, lemon and mandarin showcase classical Riesling characteristics. Off-dry in style with notes of lemon curd, white blossom and a lovely long acidity combine to make this a delicious wine.

VINEYARD REGION: 100% Waipara, North Canterbury

VINTAGE CONDITIONS: The La Nina weather pattern was the dominating influence of our 2023 growing season. Which brought less hot North-westerly winds, normally a mainstay of our season, and replaced them with regular cooling Easterly winds. The start to spring was cool with temperatures below average. Despite that, as the season progressed, temperatures picked up and we experienced good flowering conditions, resulting in a healthy and balanced crop. Summer saw us experience 30+ degree days mixed in with considerably colder spells. Over Autumn we experienced more of the same, with temperatures fluctuating between spells of beautiful warm sunny days, followed regularly by cold southerlies. These weather patterns, while presenting a challenge, meant the team started picking later allowing for sugar levels to rise. Minimal rain over this time meant the fruit could be held on the vine allowing it to reach our desired level of ripeness.
