The 2026 Marlborough vintage delivered exceptional fruit quality following a warm, dry growing season and an early harvest. Healthy canopies, low disease pressure, and favourable ripening conditions produced grapes with concentrated flavours, vibrant acidity, and excellent varietal character.

Our 2026 Riesling is made from grapes grown on Mount Riley’s Litchfield and Anderson Vineyards in Marlborough’s Wairau Valley. A growing season with moderate to warm summer temperatures gave the perfect conditions for excellent flavour development and the remarkable aromatics that this classic wine is known for. Grapes were harvested in pristine condition then crushed and destemmed. Fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures in stainless steel to achieve absolute purity of fruit
