Heaphy Old Vine Moutere Riesling, Nelson, New Zealand 2023

Heaphy Old Vine Moutere Riesling, Nelson, New Zealand 2023

From Heaphy's most venerable block of Rielsing planted in 1970.

Fruit was cold pressed in stainless steel tanks, 15% old puncheon barrel and 1/3 Drunk Turtle Amphora

Very dry, racy, and firm and yet opens up with lively jasmine, spicy ginger, white tea floral notes over a structured palate and intense, mineral finish. Feels like a drive through the luscious Golden Bay.

Sushi, smoked fish dishes or goats cheese.
