The 2016 Rimu Grove Riesling is a bouquet of citrus blossoms and honeysuckle. Full and luscious in the mouth, the fresh juicy flavours finish with racy acidity reminiscent of mandarines and limes. This versatile wine is destined to gain strength and body with cellar age.

This versatile wine is destined to gain strength and body with cellar age.**** Stars, New Zealand Wines 2018: Michael Cooper’s Buyer’s Guide “Balanced for easy drinking, the bright, light lemon/green 2016 vintage is light to medium-bodied (10 per cent alcohol), with youthful lemon/apple flavours, showing very good delicacy and depth, a slightly minerally streak, and an off-dry (10 grams/litre of residual sugar) finish.”
