Sutherland Riesling 2015
Fragrant and inviting on the nose. Characteristic aromas of orange blossom and lime, with flavours of white peach and pure minerality on the palate.
Maturation
Potential to develop beautifully over the next 10 years.
Food Pairing
Enjoy as an aperitif or with salads, chicken and mildly spicy dishes.
Winemaker's Comments
Fragrant and inviting on the nose. Characteristic aromas of orange blossom and lime, with flavours of white peach and pure minerality on the palate. Well balanced and pretty, with a long finish. Will reward cellaring.
