Overview
The Tongue in Groove Riesling is a powerful and beautifully expressive wine sourced from two renowned Waipara vineyards, Bedford and Longsmith. Situated on north-facing, free-draining gravel terraces of the Waipara riverbed, these sites are among the finest for Riesling in New Zealand, producing intensely aromatic grapes of exceptional quality. Crafted in the modern dry style, this Riesling offers both immediate drinkability and impressive ageing potential.
Tasting Notes
The bouquet is vibrant and alluring, with orange blossom, mandarin zest, grapefruit and ripe stone fruit leaping from the glass. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with excellent weight and concentration balanced by bright acidity that gives freshness and length. Textural, complex and endlessly drinkable, this Riesling reflects the character of its unique vineyards and will cellar gracefully for more than a decade. Perfect with seafood, spicy Asian dishes or creamy cheeses.
