2021 Settlement Ashmore Riesling
This 2021 Settlement Ashmore Riesling is a vibrant, organically crafted wine that captures the essence of Marlborough’s sunlit vineyards and cool, refreshing nights, making it an irresistible choice for enthusiasts of expressive Riesling.
Settlement Wines is renowned for selecting the most distinguished parcels of fruit from Marlborough’s finest organic single vineyards. Sourced from the celebrated Ashmore Vineyard, this wine benefits from a unique northern exposure that maximises sunlight throughout the day and cool nights that preserve the delicate acidity and aromatic intensity of the grapes.
The winemaking process begins with machine harvesting and direct pressing into stainless steel tanks. Following a three-day settling period, fermentation is carried out with 15% of the wine aged in old French oak, and the remainder in temperature-controlled tanks for five months. This meticulous approach, combined with minimal intervention, results in a wine that is unfiltered and true to its varietal character.
Exuding a lively citrus bouquet with enticing hints of red apple, melon and fresh herbs, this Riesling stands out for its pronounced varietal purity and tangy, dryish finish. Its youthful vibrancy is balanced by a potential for graceful development over the years, making it a delightful choice for both immediate enjoyment and cellaring.
Pairing Suggestions: Perfect with fresh seafood, light summer salads, white meat dishes or as a refreshing aperitif on a warm day.
Tasting Note: Displays lifted aromas and flavours of ripe citrus and fresh white peach, with a vibrant bouquet accented by red apple, melon and fresh herbal nuances; the finish is tangy and dryish with lively acidity.
