White
Greywacke Marlborough Riesling 2022
£26.95
Why Mark chose this
Kevin Judd, who helped make Cloudy Bay famous, makes this under his own label, and the Marlborough Riesling is one of his most approachable wines. It's off-dry, with a lovely lifted floral character and plenty of fresh fruit, but the acidity keeps it from feeling sweet. A reliable bottle that a lot of people come back to once they've tried it.

Tasting Notes
An uplifting array of florals combine with crunchy red apple, cranberries and freshly squeezed lemonade. Off-dry in style, the silken palate is bursting with nectarine, mandarin and lemon blossom flavours, with hints of vanilla bean and star anise. A racy backbone of acidity proves the perfect juxtaposition to the wine’s generous aromatics and lingering complex finish. VITICULTURE Organically farmed grapes were grown at Ashmore Vineyard in Fairhall, adjacent to the mouth of the Brancott Valley, on gravelly clay-loam soils. Conditions here are more typical of the Southern Valleys than the Wairau plains. This 26-year-old BioGro certified vineyard is trained on a two-cane VSP (vertical shoot positioning) trellis and is rigorously shoot- and fruit-thinned to regulate yield.
