Marlborough Riesling

Marlborough built its reputation on Sauvignon Blanc, but the region's Riesling deserves just as much attention, benefiting from the same long, cool ripening season that gives the region's white wines their signature intensity. Styles here range from dry to off-dry, with the variety's naturally high acidity keeping even the riper examples feeling fresh and food-friendly. It's a useful point of comparison if you're used to Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and want to see how the region handles a different variety, or if you already know North Canterbury's Riesling and want to compare regional styles side by side. For Riesling more broadly, Riesling covers examples from every region we carry, including its German homeland.
