Cellar Notes
This is a serious Riesling made in a fruit driven New World style. Ripe grape with 10% Botrytis infection were harvested, pressed, fined and racked clean. The juice was then inoculated with an aromatic yeast and fermented cool. The wine was cooled when balance was achieved and SO2 was added. The wine was fined and stabilized before filtering.
Tasting Notes
This intensely scented Dry Riesling exhibits aromas of fresh ginger and mandarin peel with sweet notes of honey suckle. The palate is full and rich with ripe citrus flavours and a crisp dry finish.
Awards and Reviews
Bronze Medal, 2010 New Zealand International Wine Show
BEST UNDER $20 Lively with a hint of lime and tropical fruit, a suggestion of nuts and a savoury undertone, this is mouthfilling, racy and long, with a crisp finish. 3 stars (out of 5) Good value. http://www.odt.co.nz/lifestyle/food-wine/129994/wine-review-riesling, Otago Daily Times, 8 October 2010
A lovely pure expression of the variety displaying floral, citrus and a hint of flinty characters on the nose. It's delicate on the palate with fine texture and bright acidity providing an excellent structure and length. A beautifully styled wine destined to evolve gradually. At its best: 2013 to 2020. Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2011.

WAIPARA SPRINGS RIESLING
Intense aroma of orange blossom with subtle spice and crisp minerality lead to a palate that is alive with crisp acidity. Bottled with some natural carbon dioxide for a tantalizing lift.
