A MAGNIFICENT NEW ZEALAND REISLING!
Produced from fruit grown in the Pigou Vineyard in the Rapaura district of Marlborough. This is a ‘big’ Riesling. Brilliant pale straw colour. Lifted nose of lime, citrus and orange blossom – very aromatic! The palate is full bodied, with generous mouthfeel, displaying a touch of residual sweetness that carries well. Flavours of apricot, citrus and honey emerge. Excellent length with crisp acid finish.

Alc/Vol: 12.0%
