A sacred story
The New Zealand's vineyard exists thanks
to the English missionary Samuel Marsden
who participated in Aotearoa's
evangelization from Bay of Island's. The other father of New
Zealand`s (and Asutralian) viticulture was James
Busby, the man who produced the first
Aotearoa's wine.
Although most of the vineyard is planted on the North Island, it is
in the South one where varieties adapted to
the cold express themselves wonderfully.
Let's see it with a cold-friendly Riesling.
His Riesling
2014 vintage: Visually
without problems. A poweful nose with very varietal, minerals and
buttery hints. With the oxygenation it came mentholated and citrus
fruits notes for complete this open and clean nose. An off-dry entry
in mouth. Fresh and very fruity
(white stone fruits) development without forget the menthol side.
Very easy to drink (9% alcohol vol.), femenine and fluid. Finish with
residual sugars (59 gr/l) and a nice itching sensation.
A very interesting Central Otago's Riesling, more
specifically from Bannockburn district. The winery was there built in
1991 to vinify the harvest produced by yhe Stewart Elm's new
vineyards (Elm's Vineyard project). Progressively this winery has
increased its hectares of vineyards, worked
in biodynamic and with a special attention
to the house's star-variety : the Pinot Noir. A 'soif'
wine this slate's Riesling with a price between 15
to 20 euros to
enjoy anytime in the day.
