Overview:
Misha’s Vineyard Limelight Riesling 2022 lives up to its name with citrus-driven vibrancy and irresistible charm. A medium-dry style from Central Otago’s Bendigo sub-region, it balances purity of fruit with textural finesse, offering both immediate drinkability and long-term cellaring potential.
Tasting Notes:
Fresh aromas of crushed lemon and lime mingle with jasmine, star anise and a hint of toasted spice. The palate is concentrated and pure, showing Gala apple, lime cordial and citrus zest wrapped around a delicate sweetness. Racy acidity provides precision and length, while subtle minerality and a shapely phenolic structure give balance and drive. Elegant, refreshing and beautifully persistent.
