Description
The Giesen family immigrated to NZ in the 80's and from the word go produced some legendary Rieslings from their home vineyards in Burnham, South of Christchurch. Now based in Marlborough and producing a huge array of exciting wines, from many varieties and with an emphasis on Single Vineyard wines, such as this Gemstone Riesling. This wine was fermented in three parcels; German granite tanks, 500l old barrels and stainless steel tanks, enhancing complexity, texture and structure.
Smells
enticing lifted aromas of honeysuckle, beeswax, apricot and lemonade fruit. Its perfumed, exotic and alluring where you cannot help putting the glass to your nose again and again and breathing deeply.
Tastes
a finely balanced Riesling with a touch of natural sugar as the fermentation was stopped before dryness. Ripe exotic fruits, guava, honey and apricots make for a rich style balanced by seamless acidity. A pure, ripe expression of Riesling that is heaven in the glass. Perfect with canapes and cheese dishes.
We taste, rate & guarantee every wine we sell.
