Winemakers Comment
Bright lifted aromas reminiscent of spring, fl oral perfume, fresh lemon and limes jump out of the glass. The palate is light and crisp showing juicy apricot and mandarin fl avours with a hint of ginger spice. This Private Bin Riesling is an off-dry style displaying excellent fruit sweetness balanced with zesty sherbet-like acidity on the fi nish.
Serving Suggestions
Perfect chilled as an aperitif, or serve with lightly spiced Asian cuisine.
Vineyard & Winemaking
Fruit set in the cool spring weather was lower than usual, resulting in the development of open bunches with small fl avourful berries. From January onwards, Marlborough experienced a summer of the century, with a spell of long hot dry weather with moderately cool nights providing the perfect environment to ensure physiological and flavour ripeness whilst retaining freshness.
After selective machine harvesting, the resulting clear juice was slowly fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain the distinctive crisp Riesling flavours.
