The fruit feels rounded as it arrives, then lime-like freshness gives the wine a clear, lively shape. A little sweetness softens that edge without taking away the mouth-watering finish. Expect detail and lift, with little drying grip.

Behind the bottle
The Mound Vineyard was planted on terraced gravels in the Waipara Valley in 2002. Its low-fertility soils and long, cool growing season shape this single-vineyard Riesling.
Hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed. Only free-run juice was used, with cool fermentation and cold settling.
