This Nelson late-harvest style Riesling is the perfect dessert wine to match with winter puddings or lighter summer dessert treats. The ripe peach and honey caramel flavours are well-balanced with refreshing acidity.

This Nelson late-harvest Riesling pairs beautifully with a variety of desserts. Its ripe peach and honey caramel notes complement winter puddings like sticky toffee or warm apple crumble, while the refreshing acidity cuts through the richness of lighter summer treats such as lemon tart, pavlova, or poached stone fruits.

Tasman's maritime climate and vineyards with free-draining soils are the perfect place for growing Riesling in late harvest style.

For a successful late harvest Riesling, the grapes must first ripen cleanly in the early part of the growing season to express lime and lemon citrus flavours. The extra time the grapes spend hanging on the vines before harvest concentrates sugars and acidities and promotes riper flavours such as fig and apricots. In the winery, cooling is used to enhance fruit flavours and stop the fermentation process with some residual sweetness to balance the concentrated acidity in the wine.
