Baker Mckenzie

Made from hand-harvested grapes from Elephant Hill's coastal Te Awanga vineyard. Delicious, elegant with wonderful fruit purity.

An honest, accessible, articulate translation of Riesling. Consumers have become a little puritanical in our approach to ripeness but sometimes, that little extra fruit accentuates and releases the minerality so that feinherb – “off-dry” achieves a lovely balance and a better reflection of fresh acidity. Here we have a plethora of orchard and exotic fruit, apples, pears and melon complemented by delightful floral notes –lovely definition and focus.

Lovely opulent dark cherry nose with lush fruits and a little gentle spice. There is a refreshing acidity to this which focuses the generous fruit. Rich but not heavy, just as it should be. Lovely.
