2023 Valli Waitaki Vineyard Riesling

這款來自冷涼海風影響的懷塔基園，呈現清新又有輪廓的柑橘與青果香，還帶一絲花香提振嗅覺。入口乾淨利落，檸檬與青萊姆的酸度俐落，口中有細緻的礦感與鹹鮮感，體感介於輕到中等，尾韻乾淨持續。釀造上以人工採收、輕柔壓榨為主，低溫不鏽鋼發酵以保留原始果香與清爽酸度，幾乎不添加干預，成就這款直率又有層次的表現。建議冷飲或稍放半小時醒香，更能展現果香與礦物細節，日常下酒與海鮮、辛香料理都很合適。

A bright, cool-climate white showing lifted citrus and green-fruit aromatics with delicate floral notes. On the palate it is taut and focused: vibrant lemon and lime flavours framed by brisk acidity, a saline mineral thread and a clear, lingering finish. Texturally light-to-medium with precise energy, this vintage balances freshness and concentration with elegant restraint.

Produced by a small, hands-on team in the Waitaki Valley, fruit is harvested at optimal ripeness to capture natural acidity and aromatic clarity. Gentle pressing and cool stainless-steel fermentation preserve primary fruit and purity; minimal aging keeps the wine bright and direct. Drink chilled and enjoy young for its zesty immediacy, or cellar briefly to broaden the mid-palate complexity.
