Our 'Last Light' Central Otago Riesling 2021 is a stunning, off-dry Riesling with vibrant aromas of sweet apricot, freesia, perfume, citrus blossom and a touch of nettle.

The palate has a lush entry of apricot, tangelo, lemon, sweet grapefruit and good minerality. Complex with crisp acidity balancing nicely with the fruit sweetness and leading to a long citrus finish. 

Try matching this wine with Thai style dishes, seafood, salmon and cheeses. Or as Candice Chow recommends with pan-fried sole and steamed clams.

 

Awards

"This medium-bodied wine is invitingly scented, with good intensity of citrusy, slightly peachy flavours, full of youthful vigour, gentle sweetness and finely balanced acidity. Best drinking 2024+." Micheal Cooper (4.5 Stars)

"This is immensely appealing on the nose showing lemon curd, lime cordial, jasmine and subtle ginger notes, followed by a deliciously expressed palate displaying brilliant focus and flowing mouthfeel. It's precise and finely textured, wonderfully complemented by elegant sweetness and lively acidity, finishing harmonious and hugely appealing."  Sam Kim, Wine Orbit (95 Points)
