Paul Cluver Riesling 2024
Paul Cluver Riesling shows a pale green hue with expressive aromas of citrus blossom and fresh orchard fruit. The palate is delicate yet zesty, with lime notes and a textured mid-palate. A balance of natural residual sugar and vibrant acidity gives the wine a characteristic Riesling tension, complemented by a mineral core from shale-rich soils. Vineyard & Terroir Sourced from Elgin’s cool-climate vineyards planted on shale-rich soils, lending mineral complexity and structure. Winemaking Grapes are carefully sorted at both vine and cellar. Juice is fermented using selected yeasts, with 22% fermented in large 2500L oval oak vats. Partial fermentation stoppage retains natural off-dry fruitiness. The remainder is fermented dry on fine lees to enhance complexity before blending and bottling. Tasting Notes Citrus blossom, lime, zesty, delicate, mineral-driven, off-dry, elegant. Grape Variety Riesling Food Pairing Spicy Asian cuisine, shellfish, sushi, light salads, or soft cheeses.
Wildsong Organic Sauvignon Blanc 2022
Wildsong Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant organic expression of Sauvignon Blanc from Hawke's Bay, grown on ancient river terraces formed by the Ngaruroro River. The vineyard's unique geology—greywacke boulders and gravels topped with windblown loess, volcanic ash, and humus from ancient forests—imparts intense fruit character and crisp, refreshing acidity. Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel and older French oak barriques, followed by four to eight months on yeast lees. The result is a lively, structured wine bursting with nectarine, grapefruit, and rockmelon notes, finishing long and elegantly.
