BEL CANTO Dry Riesling 2022 750ml

With its large diurnal range and long lingering autumns, North Canterbury is an ideal playground for Riesling, and Bel Canto is a perfect example of this.  This wine is part of our reserve series, which we only make in exceptional years that are favourable for the development of noble botrytis.  

Upon release it has a pale gold hue.  Tantalising aromas of flint and citrus blossom erupt from the glass, spliced with undertones of green apple, kaffir lime leaf and kumquat, swathed in a mineral cloak.  The palate is fresh and lively, a rich and textured mouthfeel backed by invigorating acidity that creates a pleasing tension.  Stylised, yet oozing with finesse, it delivers a long, focused finish.
