Top NZ Riesling wins Gold!

May 18th, 2010 | Posted by Kirk

Happy days here at Sandihurst  as our 2007 True and Daring Riesling has won GOLD at the International Wine Challenge - the only NZ Riesling to do so. 

2007 was a fantastic year all round for NZ vineyards. Our fruit for this wine comes from Nelson. Fermented in multiple lots with different yeasts and differing temperature regimes. Fermentations were all stopped at varying degrees of sweetness. Aged on lees for a period to add texture and complexity before being  blended prior to bottling. The wine was not fined. Dry in style and starting to show some fantastic bottle developed characters.

Although destined for the USA market, limited numbers will be sold in NZ. Visit our online shop to get updates on availability.
