Label for Thornbury Waipara Riesling

Product Details

Tasting Notes

Floral lime and peach notes combined with tantalising citrus blossom and nectarine on the palate.

This wine has a fresh crisp acidity balanced by harmonious natural sugar resulting in an off dry style.

Storage Instructions

This wine can be drunk now but will further improve if carefully stored for up to 2 years

Expert Opinion

In the press...

Wonderfully intense citrus fruits dominate this zippy white, together with peach and pear richness and a hint of sweetness.  It would even work with belly pork. 

Jamie Goode - S Magazine (Sunday Express) 11/12/2011

At four years old, the Thornbury Riesling, is already morphing into a wine with toasty qualities, suggesting sweetness but finishing dry
