Grape Varietals: 100% Riesling

Region: Central Otago, New Zealand

Valli Wines — a boutique producer in North Otago focused on cool‑climate expression. Fruit for this wine includes grapes from Grant's Road; Hand-harvested fruit picked at early ripeness to preserve acidity ; the must saw around 5% whole‑bunch fermentation cold n in stainless steel to protect aromatics. and matured for 11 months in French oak (30% new) and bottled young to lock in vibrancy, a regime designed to support freshness while adding subtle spice and structure .

Chalky mineral thread gives a focused, elegant profile perfect for lovers of precision.

On first pour you get a lime and kaffir leaf lift, then a core of white nectarine and a barely-there tropical whisper. The acidity isn't sharp — it's taut and cleansing, wrapping modest residual sweetness into a long, dry finish. Chill to 8–10°C and give 15–30 minutes out of the fridge for the aromas to open.
