Nga Waka Riesling 2025
Trust your Taste
Ripe citrus and red apple are lifted by ginger and floral notes in this dry Martinborough Riesling. Soft texture through the middle leads into a crisp, fresh finish. Try it with seafood or lighter Asian-style dishes when you want flavour and a lively edge.

How this wine feels
A little soft texture cushions the fruit, then a bright citrus edge takes over. The finish is dry and mouth-watering, with very little grip. Choose it if you enjoy whites that feel fresh and precise rather than rich and buttery.
The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
How much presence and firmness the wine has in your mouth.
The drying, gripping feeling on your gums.
The fresh, mouth-watering edge of the wine.
Bitter, herbal or savoury character beyond the fruit.
How smooth and rounded the wine feels.
Ripe fruit character. This is not a sugar-sweetness rating.
Ripe fruit flavours can be present in dry wines. Sweet-Fruit Expression describes fruit character, not residual sugar.
