Young and focused, the 2023 Riesling/Gruner Veltliner is full of electricity and light. The palate is citrus-bright with chalky textures, a hint of spritz on entry and a pop of bright acidity. Clean, pure and young, it’s a really sparky wine that is good from the off, but will naturally mellow with a bit more time in bottle.

Country

New Zealand

As with nearby Australia, New Zealand has over the past century proven itself to be a superb location for producing high quality wines in vast amounts, with much of the cooler regions of both islands being used primarily for vine cultivation. New Zealand wineries are notable for their enthusiasm in regards to experimentation, and for utilizing modern technologies and methods to make the most of the imported grape varietals which flourish in the rich, fertile soils and oceanic climate. In recent years, it has been the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc wines which have gained the most attention, as a result of their smoky character and ability to carry the mineral rich nature of the terroir they grow in. Changing consumer interests have brought about a considerable rise in the production of organic and sustainable wines in New Zealand, of which again, the Sauvignon Blanc varietals are leading the way in regards to excellence, flavor and overall character.

Region

Central Otago

Being in the south of New Zealand's lower island, there is no question of the fact that Central Otago is the most southerly wine region on earth. However, despite its rather extreme positioning, the past century or so has proven that Central Otago is in fact something of an idyllic area for viticulture, being shielded by the harsh, oceanic climate by a mountain range which results in a favorable micro climate. Indeed, the region enjoys long, hot and dry summers followed by pleasant autumns, perfect for ripening grapes. This did not go unnoticed by early French settlers in the 19th century, and before long, vineyards were being planted on the sides of vast glacial valleys, and even the earliest results were promising. Today, Central Otago produces an impressive quantity of wine, mostly made with the ever-present Pinot Noir grape varietal, and exports it all over the world.

Winery Notes

• Riesling & Grüner Veltliner. • The vineyard was picked in two passes: one clone of Grüner Veltliner and one clone of Riesling in each pass. • Grüner Veltliner: destemmed bunches, berries were then lightly foot crushed and grapes bathed in juice to benefit from skin contact. • Riesling: whole bunches were lightly foot crushed and grapes bathed in juice. • First picking pass was pressed after 6 hours, while the second pass had 62 hours of skin contact. • The varieties were then co-fermented. • Fermented and aged in stainless steel barrels and neutral oak barriques for 11 months.
