Tinpot Hut Late Harvest Riesling from Marlborough, New Zealand, is a delightful White (Dessert) wine. This sweet Riesling is crafted from handpicked fruit with perfect late season botrytis infection, cool fermented in stainless steel and settled on lees for three months. It presents intense aromas of ripe apricot, lime, subtle spice, and aromatic honey. The palate is luscious and textural, offering succulent stonefruit characters and zesty mandarin peel, leading to a lingering finish. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine pairs beautifully with mature and hard cheeses, spicy dishes, or as an elegant aperitif.
37.5CL , 10.0% ABV
Vinification
Perfect late season botrytis infection followed by a long dry autumn spell meant incredibly clean and intense fruit was handpicked in early June at optimum maturity. The fruit was transported to the winery to be macerated overnight. Once pressed, the juice was settled for 3 days then cool fermented in stainless steel using an aromatic yeast to enhance the delicate flavours, and to retain the fresh fruit characteristics and underlying spice notes. After fermentation, the wine was chilled and settled on lees for 3 months before being prepared for bottling.
