Tūpari Riesling 2022

Reminiscent of the great Kabinett wines, this 2022 Riesling is a fragrant and beautifully balanced wine with a burst of sweetness that can be enjoyed with food or by itself. Plush and fragrant with lemon, lime and green apple aromas.

FOOD MATCH: Truly a food wine, this style is incredibly versatile. Asian, Chicken and Salmon are all wonderful dishes that pair wonderfully with our 2022 Riesling.

CHEESE MATCH: The sweet saltiness of Gruyere or the simplicity of Quark will match beautifully.

The Tūpari Riesling block is situated on a thin, exposed terrace stretching along the top of the cliff face with magnificent valley views. Warm days and cool nights combine to create the distinguishing mineral character and rich flavours typical of the Awatere Valley.

Following hand harvesting, the juice was gently pressed out and fermented at cool temperatures to retain flavour and freshness.The fermentation was stopped with enough residual sugar to balance the acidity and hold on to the attractive floral notes.
