Intense perfume and fresh lemon/lime flavours are trademarks of good New Zealand Reisling.

The ideal, not too sweet, dessert wine that is the perfect partner to summer fruits.

One of the top New Zealand Rieslings. The 2010 Brightwater Riesling is a beautiful example of Nelson Riesling at its best. An off dry succulent style with impeccable ripe citrus fruit tastes and excellent balancing acidity. Invest in 6 bottles or more and enjoy the fruits of its youth as well as one each year over the next 3 to 4 years. It will drink exceptionaly well with some age in the bottle.

Entrancing aromas of apple blossom and lime combine in a potpourri of deep, heady tropical scents before a full and fleshy entry to the palate. A graceful minerality entwines with notes of apricot, mandarine, lime & lemon, endowing the wine with an elegant silken texture and sublime palate presence.
Three 1/2 Stars - Joelle Thomson
"Here's a Riesling that woos even the most hardened 'dry wine' lover into its fold. Like many New Zealand Rieslings, this one is off dry but it's so deliciously lime-like in taste and beautifully light, fresh and clean that it's a wine which sneaks up on your taste buds, pulling them into its light but firm grip. A feminine white with fresh light flavours and incredible power. Twenty cents from every bottle sold of this wine goes to the Department of Conservation and the Royal Forest and Bird Society."

When selecting riesling, we want the wine to display clean fresh acidity married nicely with ripe lemon and line characters. This wine from a leading premium Wairarapa winery, has some of the best riesling characters we have ever tried.
Twenty cents from every bottle of KEA POINT wine is donated to the Threatened Species Trust.
Martinborough- One of our smaller wine regions but so focused on quality. From velvety Pinot Noirs to zingy but full bodied Rieslings. And here it is. Limes, floral (a paddock of clover and daisies) and hints of kerosene.
This Yellow Label Riesling is sourced from premium South Australian vineyards. Displaying lifted floral and citrus characters, this wine is elegantly balanced with intense fruit flavours and a refreshing, crisp finish.
