2022 SV Riesling “D”
Original price was: $32.00.$27.20Current price is: $27.20.
We love Riesling as a variety for its purity, elegance and age ability and believe that our old vines (mostly planted in late 70s) combined with the growing conditions here in Marlborough are capable of making world class Riesling. Our SV (SV5182) Riesling ‘D’ is a dry style which has excellent fruit weight and concentration to balance the lingering mineral acid structure. This wine is finely structured with great length of flavour.
Tasting Notes
This wine has gorgeous lifted aromas of jasmine, fresh lemon, and ripe Kaffir lime follow through on to the palate. Flavours of fresh lime juice, lemon sorbet and ripe grapefruit with hints of floral spice are balanced by a fine backbone of ripe acidity. This Riesling is a dry style which has excellent fruit weight and concentration to balance the lingering mineral acid structure. This wine is finely structured with great length of flavour.

95 points – DECANTER UK – Emma Jenkins MW (July 2026)
Zesty, with lime, mandarin, chalk, a waft of white flowers and a slight toastiness. Tangy richness on the palate with good fruit weight, its citrus fruit woven with juicy acidity and a touch of phenolics. A lighter-framed style with an attractive savoury thread from some of Marlborough’s oldest vines, planted in the 1970s
93 Points Erin Larkin – The Wine Advocate
The 2022 Riesling ‘D’ leads on the nose with cut lime and lemon oil, wet chalk and citrus pith, and white flowers emerge on the palate. The vines were planted in 1979 and are the oldest vines in Marlborough. The acidity is dry and fine; it spools through the fruit and is woven as threads through the phenolics. This is a gorgeous wine, crystalline and chalky, with three grams of residual per liter. Drink Date: 2025 – 2037
96 Points & Top Rank – Stephen Wong MW – The Real Review
A classic nose which unfurls with juicy mandarin, musky spice, and sweet basil— each note soaring higher than the last as it lifts off. The palate is perfectly balanced, oscillating between the spine-tingling acidity, fruit sweetness and mouth-coating concentration. Intense, spicy and stony while being light on its feet, a masterclass in poise and precision. Very young but with a bright future ahead. (AUG 24)
