Dry River Riesling 2024

Winemaker notes on current 2024 vintage

"A captivating bouquet of white lilies, powdered sea salt, almond oil, green apple, and the vibrant freshness of pikopiko fern leaps from the glass, offering an intricate and alluring nose. On the palate, the wine unfolds with effortless grace, delivering a broad, savoury impression balanced by a delicate touch of residual sugar. Layers of citrus rind, nougat, and a subtle buttery richness from extended lees aging intertwine seamlessly. With its lighter alcohol and precise focus, the wine heightens the sensory experience, stimulating the taste receptors at the edges of the palate for a refreshing, cleansing effect. The finish is remarkably long and resonant... Just nine rows of fruit, grown on our coldest, windiest, and stoniest terrace, shaping the wine’s tension and phenolic structure.The dry, warm 2024 vintage softened phenolics ahead of sugar accumulation, yielding purity at lower alcohol—akin to our late ’90s wines. Serving suggestion: 8 – 12C, serve with white fish ceviche, grilled salmon or barbecued chicken."
