Rockburn Tigermoth Riesling 2022 (6 Bottles) Central Otago

by Oatley Fine Wine Merchants

$222.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

This medium-sweet Riesling, inspired by the Spätlese wines of Germany, is produced from our Parkburn Vineyard in Lowburn.

Apricots and mandarin juice dominate the nose of this wine in its youth, and the palate is filled with lively notes of tangerine and lime. The immaculately balanced rich sweetness and fine acidity are brought to completion by a very long and cleansing finish.

Easily enjoyed as an aperitif, or with long lunches, cheese, white meat or delicate seafood dishes, this wine will continue to evolve over the next decade.

REVIEWS AND ACCOLADES
5-stars/95 points, Sam Kim –Wine Orbit, Comments:This is an outstanding medium-style Riesling offering massive appeal. Fragrant aromas of lemon curd, mandarin, rock melon and floral lead to a finely textured palate that is subtly sweet and flavoursome. The wine shows excellent fruit purity and vibrancy, wonderfully framed by racy acidity, finishing superbly long and delicious. At its best: now to 202;93 points,Cameron Douglas –The Shout Magazine,June Issue: Distinctive and classic bouquet of lime andlemon with green apple and white rose. On the palate -fleshy, juicy, fruity and off dry with some sweetness to a medium style; sweet lemon, pineapple and apple, honey and honeysuckle, a tasty wine with texture and bite then a sweet kiss of fruit. Drinknow and through 2025. Gold, NZ Wine of the Year Awards 2018

Description

Rockburn takes its name from the rugged, rock-strewn, burn-scarred landscape of Central Otago. The region is renowned for its stunning scenery of rugged mountains and picturesque lakes.

We produce premium wines of intense varietal characteristics in Central Otago, the world’s most southerly grape-growing region. Central Otago, at 45º south, has a climate similar to Burgundy, France, the great Pinot Noir producing region of the world.

All our wines exhibit strong varietal characteristics, highlighted in the white varieties by crisp acids, which are typical of the region. It has also become apparent that like Burgundy there are distinct ‘appellations’ within Central Otago. One has only to taste a Gibbston Valley Pinot Noir to experience its perfumed nose, typically violets, and earthy, forest floor sensations on the palate.

Compare this with a Lowburn/Bannockburn Pinot Noir with its darker colour and fuller, sweeter fruit. For this reason, to fully exploit the potential of the region, it is a distinct advantage to have vineyards in different ‘appellations’.
