Tasting notes
The 2015 Riesling has a nicely focused bouquet with nectarine, petrol and mirabelle aromas that soar from the glass. The palate is well balanced, displaying a fine bead of acidity, veins of tangerine and mango and a touch of spice, and a long if slightly simple finish.

Wairau Valley, Marlborough. Organic. RS 20 g/l. Very refined and racy and crystalline on the nose. Utterly correct, sculpted Riesling. Cusp of Spätlese and Auslese styles. Real substance. I’d be happy with this from Germany. Long. (JR)
Emitting a gorgeous perfume of lime cordial, honeysuckle, lemon curd and tangerine peel, the 2015 Riesling is a light-bodied, medium-sweet style, with balancing freshness and a long honey-laced finish.
(done entirely in used barrels; from an 18-year-old organically farmed vineyard down the road from Greywacke's headquarters just west of Blenheim; 20 g/l residual sugar, with a pH of 2.95): Bright, light yellow. Aromas of citrus pith and crushed rock, plus a lanolin note. Enticing juicy, concentrated, off-dry Riesling with good tactile, saline depth and a touch of dry botrytis. Ultimately more salty than sweet, and persistent on the aftertaste.
