Introducing our 2022 Last Light Riesling
Jul 18, 2025
Are you a Riesling lover?We think Riesling is one of the most underrated varieties in New Zealand and when we share our Riesling at events like Winetopia, we love to see the surprise and smiles on attendees faces when they try it.Today, we are pleased to introduce you to our new release Bald Hills Last Light Central Otago Riesling 2022. This 5 Star off-dry Riesling is simply stunning!
Our 'Last Light' Central Otago Riesling 2022 displays vibrant aroma of sweet apricot, freesia, perfume, citrus blossom and a touch of nettle.
The palate is off-dry to medium with ripe apricot, tangelo, lemon, grapefruit and good minerality. Complex with crisp acidity balancing nicely with fruit sweetness and leading to a long citrus finish.
.Try matching this wine with a spicy Thai green curry, a rich pork belly or your favourite seafood dish. Riesling is a crowd pleaser with cheese platters too, try feta, gouda, asiago, or even a sharp Parmesan as these can complement the wine’s fruity and floral notes.

This image captures the light over our Bannockburn vineyard in the evening before harvest and this was our inspiration for naming this wine the 'Last Light Riesling'.The fruit selected for this Riesling was hand harvested on 24 April 2020 from our 1 hectare block of Riesling which is ideally situated within our Bannockburn Vineyard to capture the last rays of sunlight from the setting sun. This is perfect for Riesling vines as the extra sunshine gives them optimal ripening to produce our desired flavours.
