Misha's Vineyard The Limelight Riesling 2022

Crafted from grapes grown on the dramatic slopes of Bendigo Station, Central Otago, this Riesling is carefully hand-picked in the cool of morning to preserve freshness. A long, slow ferment in stainless steel locks in purity and precision. It is made in an off-dry style with beautifully balanced acidity.

Bouquet
Lifted aromas of lime blossom, mandarin peel and honeysuckle with a mineral undertone, echoing the schist soils of the site.

Palate
Zesty lime and green apple flavours lead with energy, layered over hints of white peach and citrus sorbet. A fine thread of sweetness brings harmony to the crisp, mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairing
Beautiful with Thai green curry, ginger-scented pork dumplings or a platter of washed-rind cheeses and quince.

Cellaring
Drinking superbly now, with cellaring potential of 5 to 8 years to unlock richer honeyed notes and greater complexity.

Interesting Fact
‘The Limelight’ name references the striking mineral-rich soils and the theatre connection of winery founders Andy and Misha Wilkinson, who have long combined performance and precision in both arts and wine.
