The more premium label from Mount Riley in Marlborough is simply loaded with fruit flavour and has lovely weight on the palate. And as always from Mount Riley, it's stacked with value.
Winery notes (2026 Vintage)
"The wine was made from a selection of our most expressive sites from the 2026 vintage. The fruit was sourced from Southern Valleys sub-region in Marlborough which tend to express elegant and textural wines. The juice was then fermented with a variety of aromatic yeast strains in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain vibrancy and freshness with 15% fermented in 500L neutral barrels for added weight and complexity
A complex and powerfully expressive nose showing passionfruit, feijoa, kaffir lime and white floral aromas. A wine of striking fruit purity and concentration with fresh but balanced acidity and great length of flavour."
5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2026 (2026 Vintage)
"This is instantly appealing on the nose, showing passionfruit, feijoa, lime zest, and jasmine aromas, followed by a splendidly flavoursome palate filled with juicy fruit intensity. Wonderfully expressed with loads of tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2029."
