Villa Maria, Private Bin Riesling 2024

This Marlborough Riesling is bright, pure, and finely detailed, shaped by the region’s cool ocean influence and abundant sunshine. The nose is fresh and steely, layered with lemon and lime aromas and lifted by attractive notes of ripe apricot.

On the palate, it is light and crisp, showing juicy flavours of grapefruit and mandarin with a gentle touch of ginger spice. Concentrated yet elegant, the wine balances natural fruit sweetness with subtle mineral tones and well-integrated acidity, finishing with a smooth, lightly oily texture that adds finesse and length.

Highly versatile, it is ideal as a café-style apéritif and pairs beautifully with lightly spiced Asian cuisine, where its freshness and gentle sweetness shine.
