Claire Rogers All about wine www.sunlive.co.nz

My favourite wine of the moment is Bird Riesling, best words to describe this wine, ‘exciting' and ‘vibrant'!

Steve Bird considers Riesling to be the greatest of all classic white grape varieties. Significant resources go into Bird Riesling; the vines are managed very carefully keeping the yields down and grape quality up in order to produce fully ripe and flavourful fruit. Only 400 cases of this stunning award winning wine were produced, so don't miss out on putting a few bottles in the cellar.

The single vineyard Riesling is characterised by lovely floral and citrus blossom aromas with hints of lime on the palate. Totally drinkable now and it will age well for many years to come. Enjoy!
