The north facing slope of Block 1 with its heavy loess soils always offers a profound expression of Riesling. Stone fruits dominate on the nose underpinned by perfumed florals. The palate is immediately expansive and broad with the sheer weight of fruit seamlessly supporting the residual sugar (57 g/L). Candied peel, burnt orange and hazelnut characters offer diversity in the mouth as the taut acid frames the wine and delivers an enduring finish.
Region
Central Otago is the most southerly wine region in New Zealand, and in fact the world. It only accounts for around 3% of New Zealand's total production - but it is arguably the most well regarded region from an international perspective, in terms of quality at least - producing around 11,000 tonnes of fruit annually. It is synonymous with finely crafted & sought after Pinot Noir, although Riesling, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc & Chardonnay are also produced in significant amounts. We recommend producer's such as Rippon, Peregrine, Prophet's Rock & Akarua.
