Freshness is essential for Riesling. This information piqued our interest in this Riesling from the family-run Villa Maria winery. Upon opening, the beautiful, fresh yellow color immediately catches the eye. The aroma reveals familiar Alsace nuances! Beautiful, subtle citrus aromas that blend harmoniously with ripe apple and spring blossom. This white wine from Villa Maria is perfectly balanced with refined nuances of grapefruit, ripe white fruit, and some exotic notes of pineapple and mango. This Riesling is exactly what you'd expect: perfectly balanced with the right acidity and body. What a beautiful, delicate wine!

Flavour profile
The Villa Maria Riesling Private Bin comes from Marlborough, New Zealand's most famous wine region. Nearly 75% of all New Zealand wines originate from this region. The climate here is quite similar to that of the major European wine regions, with warmth during the day and cooling in the evening and night. This climate also makes New Zealand's Riesling grapes thrive. Because daytime temperatures rarely rise above 25 degrees Celsius, Riesling grapes thrive here. To keep the grapes as fresh as possible, the harvest is done by hand in the very early morning.
