Description
Bright, aromatic, and beautifully balanced, this Marlborough Riesling from Hunter’s Wines is an exquisite example of New Zealand’s cool-climate winemaking. Pale lemon in colour with green and gold hues, the nose bursts with citrus, floral, and subtle spice aromas. The medium-bodied palate is vibrant and dry, offering layers of lime, white flowers, and mineral undertones, finishing with a lingering freshness and crisp acidity. A fantastic choice for lovers of expressive and food-friendly white wines.
History and Winemaking
Hunter’s Wines was founded in 1979 and played a key role in Marlborough’s rise to international fame. The region’s cool climate and mineral-rich soils are ideal for Riesling, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop rich aromas. Hunter’s winemaking combines tradition with modern techniques to create wines that are fresh, expressive, and well-balanced.
Tasting Notes
Aromatic notes of citrus blossom, lime zest, and a touch of white spice lead into a lively, mineral-driven palate. Crisp acidity and vibrant fruit flavours create an elegant structure, with floral and spice notes lingering on the long, refreshing finish.
Pairings
This Riesling goes great with spicy dishes. It pairs well with Thai curries, balancing the heat. It also works well with Szechuan stir-fries, offering a nice contrast. The crisp taste also complements Indian food, especially curries and tandoori dishes.
The wine also pairs nicely with fresh seafood. Try it with grilled prawns, oysters, or sushi for a refreshing finish. It’s a great match for summer salads, enhancing their freshness.
For cheese lovers, this Riesling is a good choice with creamy goat’s cheese. Its acidity helps balance the richness. It also goes well with aged Gruyère, where the cheese’s nutty taste and the wine’s fresh flavour complement each other. Whether you’re having a light meal or something heavier, this Riesling works well with many foods.
