2014 TWR Single-Vineyard 5182 Riesling 'D'
TWR
Single-site dry Riesling. 5182 is the vineyard number given by BioGro New Zealand following the organic certification of the original vineyard. We love Riesling as a variety for its purity, elegance and age ability and believe that our old vines (planted in late 70s/early 80s) combined with the growing conditions and climate here in Marlborough are capable of making world class Riesling. The fruit from these old vines has ripe fruit concentration and great structure as well as high natural acidity that lends itself very well to making a dry style of Riesling. All the grapes for this wine were hand-picked and hand -sorted. The fruit was then destemmed, not crushed, then air-bag pressed. A proportion of parcels were whole bunch pressed. Free run cut was made on taste at approximately 550lt/t. The TWR Riesling ‘D’ is Certified Organic.

Awesome perfume here – lime juice, Thai spice, faint oyster shell-like minerality and a clarity and purpose that locks the drinker in. Clean, pure, driven across the palate with more of the citrussy intensity, but layers that run from citrus juice to pith to peel and even a suggestion of candied citrus. Better yet, the texture pushed from juicy to chalky, bringing some sophistication too. Scintillating.
