About this wine

Heaphy Riesling is from some of the oldest Riesling vines in New Zealand, this is a zesty, aromatic wine full of lime, red apple and bright stone fruit, with a generous mouthfeel and refreshing lift. Meet the Producer Heaphy Vineyard is a small, quality-focused winery in the north-west corner of New Zealand’s South Island, in the Nelson Tasman region. The vineyards benefit from long sunshine hours and cooling sea breezes, producing wines that are vibrant, characterful and true to their coastal terroir. Production Sourced from 30- to 50-year-old unirrigated vines rooted in Moutere clay soils. Grapes are harvested in late February, then crushed to tank, settled and racked, before resting on fine lees for eight months to enhance complexity and texture. Tasting Notes A fragrant nose of fresh ginger, cardamom and jasmine leads to a rich palate of juicy lime, red apple and stone fruit. Generous in body with lifted aromatics, finishing with texture and zest. A wine that feels like lounging in the sun. Food Match Perfect with fish tacos and zesty lime, or chicken and cauliflower wings with blue cheese sauce. Grape Variety Riesling
