The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
New Zealand winemaking boasts an impressive track record. Less than 40 years ago, New Zealand wine was practically unheard of; even the most discerning wine connoisseurs weren't impressed by it. However, the wine industry made significant strides after New Zealand wines were introduced internationally in the mid-1980s. Hunters Winery was one of the first to release wines to the European market. Their pioneering role in the 1980s continues to produce high-quality wines today.
Located in New Zealand's most famous wine region, Marlborough, Hunters boasts some of the finest vineyards. The majority of its vines are planted in the Wairau Valley, one of the world's most beautiful wine regions. Most of the vineyards are planted with the power of Marlborough, the Sauvignon Blanc. However, you'll find another renowned grape variety there that thrives in the New Zealand climate: Riesling. This noble grape from Alsace is being discovered by a growing number of New Zealand winemakers.
Riesling has a major advantage over other grape varieties. It's delicious when young. But this Hunters Riesling also remains perfectly enjoyable when aged, provided it's properly stored. The aroma of Hunters Riesling Marlborough is expressive and pleasant. Refined citrus notes alternate easily with fragrant blossom and crisp apple. The taste is exactly as a Riesling should be: pure and powerful. Soft fruit notes create a sensational taste, making Hunters Riesling Marlborough perhaps the finest Riesling from New Zealand.
