Terrace Edge, ‘Liquid Geography’ Riesling 2020

Terrace Edge is a small family winery in Waipara, an emerging wine region on New Zealand’s south island, with whom we volunteered in 2018. The Chapmans planted the vineyard and olive grove on land that was formerly a sheep paddock in 1999, and inside 20 years had won New Zealand’s ‘organic vineyard of the year’ award.

This is a late harvest Riesling, with plenty of unfermented sugar lending the wine a refreshing sweetness, and balancing the acidity. Lime, peach, blossom and honey. Refreshing sipper, and great with Thai food, chilli spice or fresh mango.
