Dry River Riesling-2008

Winery Story

Dry River Vineyard was established in 1979 for the production of individual, high-quality regional wines that faithfully reflect the "terroi... (more...)r" and the vintage from which they come. The name Dry River was originally held by a historical Martinborough sheep station (circa 1877) near what was initially called the Waihora River. The winery is located in what is now called the "Martinborough Terrace," a gravelly, free-draining area within the lowest rainfall zone in the North Island.

Tasting Note

It is delicately scented – citrus blossom, talc, white peach and with a palate which has flavours of pink grapefruit and its zest, plus an... (more...) obvious minerality. Overall, the flavours are delicate but complete even at this early stage in its development. The palate is linear but not to the point of austerity, the texture is silky with a restrained richness and the aftertaste is long. -www.dryriver.co.nz
