Product Notes

Saint Clair Origin Riesling is a sophisticated, wonderfully refreshing New Zealand wine. Bright lemon in colour, it offers pristine aromas of lime zest, green apple, and floral undertones on the nose. On the palate, — it is juicy, crisp, and dry, flavours of ripe citrus and stone fruits balanced by minerality and racy acidity unfold. Elegant yet aromatic, this is a well-structured wine with a prolonged finish. From its concentrated fruit flavours to its precise, harmonious structure, the keen drinker will appreciate its freshness and purity. An excellent accompaniment to seafood or spice-infused dishes.

Tasting Notes

Fragrant notes of Kaffir lime and mandarin are layered with hints of orange blossom and beeswax. On the palate, distinct minerality and fresh citrus flavours of juicy mandarin, lead to a crisp mid-palate with delicate sweetness and a smooth, off-dry finish.
