DESCRIPTION
Greywacke Riesling 2021 bears the signature of Kevin Judd in New Zealand. This Riesling stands out for its silky texture and refined complexity, boasting a perfect balance between light sweetness and lively acidity. Vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve its aromatic purity, it combines a seductive minerality with floral elegance.
The nose reveals floral aromas, white fruits, honey, and melon, enriched by aniseed notes. The palate is silky and juicy, driven by a vibrant acidity and a remarkable minerality. The residual sugar ($18.6 g/L for the 2021 or $19g/L for the 2022) provides excellent balance. Aging potential of 10 years and more. Pairing with pan-seared foie gras or fish tacos with mango salsa.

Marlborough
New Zealand
Marlborough is by far the most important wine region in New Zealand. At the northeast tip of the South Island, this dry, sunny region is home to over 500 estates and produces nearly 75% of New Zealand wine. Its warm days, cool nights and well drained alluvial soils create ideal conditions for aromatic wines with crystalline acidity.
This is where the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc style that won over the world was born: vibrant, intensely fruity, with a herbaceous touch and saline minerality. While Sauvignon Blanc dominates, Marlborough also produces excellent Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling, confirming its place as the international showcase of New Zealand wine.
