The Crater Rim Canterbury Riesling

2012 Canterbury Riesling

The Crater Rim Canterbury Riesling from the 2012 vintage is a delightful expression of this renowned varietal, showcasing the unique terroir of the Canterbury region. This wine exhibits a medium body, complemented by a refreshing acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering vibrant notes of ripe stone fruits and citrus, which are beautifully balanced by a hint of minerality. Its dryness makes it exceptionally food-friendly, allowing it to pair well with a variety of dishes, from spicy Asian cuisine to light seafood. The finish is elegantly crisp, leaving a lasting impression that invites you to take another sip.

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
