Calrossie Vineyard Dry Riesling

The award-winning Calrossie Vineyard wines from the Awatere Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand are celebrated for their exceptional quality and attention to detail. Calrossie Vineyard wines are the product of meticulous attention to detail and offer elegant expressions of vineyard and vintage.

This 2024 Dry Riesling is the first release of Riesling as a standalone variety. Typically harvested and fermented with Sauvignon Blanc, the textbook 2024 vintage gave the perfect opportunity to separately harvest and ferment this as a standalone wine worth of its own label and bottling.

From rich clay soils and high-density planted vines, Calrossie Vineyard produces wines of great palate weight, fresh acidity and intensity of flavour. The 2024 vintage was a low yielding, cool and dry one, allowing to pick the fruit on at perfect physiological ripeness without any pressure from weather or other events.
