2016 Mt. Beautiful Riesling, North Canterbury, New Zealand (750ml)

Product Info

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

It is a purely textural adventure, ripe with off-dry flavors of honeysuckle, pink grapefruit, and sweet almond blossom. The citrus notes meld together with crisp minerality and a complex ripe apple character. It finishes with a beautiful, lingering acidity. This wine is made by blending together two distinct blocks of Riesling from the vineyard. Pair this Mt. Beautiful Riesling with fresh New Zealand Scallops, spicy dishes and a laissez-faire outlook on a warm afternoon.

TASTING NOTES:

Offers a zingy mix of green apple, lime sherbet, lemongrass and pear flavors. Lip-smacking on the finish, fresh and vibrant.                                                                 -Wine Spectator, 90 pts.
