Browse by Grape - Riesling
A candidate for the most underrated variety in the wine world today. Usually associated with Germany and Alsace this much abused grape can make all manner of white wine, from sparkling to dessert. Its character can vary from fresh apple to petrol-like aromas and flavours. Its continued re-emergence is due to the wine public's realisation of its quality which had long been doubted mainly due to the influx of (often non-Riesling related) German wines of questionable quality. Now becoming a major variety in New Zealand and Australia.

This wild fermented Riesling from the oldest vines planted in 1980 at the estate’s Butlers’ Grant Vineyard is aged on its lees for six months and undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation. It has a mineral rich nose of salinity and wet stones with lemon/lime zest, green apple, peach, and those vineyard-specific ginger notes always prevalent from this vineyard. That lees aging brings out a creamy feel on the palate with green pear, gushing lime, lemon zest and, yes, more ginger in a more rounded, texturally satisfying style with just a touch of sweetness tempered by the racy acidity.
