North Canterbury Riesling

2012, Mt. Beautiful, North Canterbury Riesling. Good acidity, tart apple and lots of citrus. Good but more like an Alsatian Riesling than a German Riesling. In a blind taste, I would probably had called as a Chardonnay.

Kabinett style.. Crisp, acid, perfect for the Celadon calamari.

My first NZ Riesling. Off dry. Heavy petrol aromas with slight notes of lemon, green apple and a hint of cat pee. Pronounced flavors of apple and flint with a bit of lemon on the finish. Very much a Riesling, but also somewhat unique.

Acid, smooth, bright

Ripe apple and lemon on the nose. Sweet melon in the back of the mouth with zingy, crisp citrus flavors. It's nice this

Beautifully balanced Alsatian style Riesling

Very nice, pleasing dryness, and although you can taste the Marlborough influence, it's not as tart. Lovely!

2015. On the lighter side of dry Riesling. Fresh, balanced, easy style.

Light petroleum and golden apple aromas. Mineral driven & lightly dry with medium acidity. Notes of petroleum, golden apple, grass, & a subtle New Zealand green undertone, like a NZ Sauv Blanc meets German Riesling. Pairs excellently with spicy chicken & green beans.
