Description

From some of the oldest living Riesling blocks in New Zealand, this is a zesty wonderland of lime and joy. Heaphy Riesling comes from 30 & 50 year old unirrigated vines grown on Moutere clay soils, the wine is a delightful red apple and lime combo whose generous body and lifted aromatics. A nose of fresh ginger, cardamom and jasmine over a rich palate of juicy lime, red apple and stone fruit, with generous mouthfeel and texture in the finish. Feels like lounging in the sun.

Fish tacos with zesty lime, chicken or cauliflower wings with blue cheese sauce.
