Greenhough Apple Valley Riesling, Nelson, South Island, New Zealand 2019 

100% Organic Riesling hand harvested and whole bunch pressed unoaked. 

This medium-sweet, fragrant style is reminiscent of a fresh, ripe apple delicately scented with citrus blossom. There is a lightness and crunchy liveliness to the feel of this wine in the mouth. The palate is concentrated and linear, bursting with juicy, sweet fruit up front and flowing seamlessly to a refreshingly long, crisp finish. Single vineyard. Certified organic. Vegan friendly.

“Delicious young, this light-bodied (9.5% alc/vol), gently sweet wine is attractively scented. It has intense, peachy, citrusy flavours and shows excellent freshness, delicacy and harmony.”   5 Stars, Michael Cooper –  NZ Listener November, 2019

“Scents of lime zest and petrichor join green apples on the nose of the 2019 Apple Valley Riesling. I suppose it’s somewhere between Kabinett and Spatlese in style, with 9.5% alcohol and 31 grams per litre of residual sugar, a medium-bodied feel in the mouth and a bright, crisp, malic finish.”  90/100, Joe Czerwinski – The Wine Advocate, April 2020
