Description
Indulge in the crisp elegance of the Tinpot Hut Turner Vineyard Marlborough Riesling 2022, a remarkable expression of New Zealand's renowned wine-making heritage. This exceptional dry white wine, crafted from carefully tended 100% Riesling grapes, showcases the distinctive characteristics of the Blind River sub-region of the Awatere Valley. With a vintage shaped by notable La Niña conditions, this wine embodies a perfect balance of flavour and aroma.
Upon pouring, the wine reveals a pale straw hue, with the nose offering an enticing bouquet of:
- Zesty lime peel
- Ripe nectarine
- Delicate honeycomb
- Subtle honeysuckle floral hints
- Faint flinty minerality
The palate delights with a light-bodied profile that bursts with vibrant lime and grapefruit flavors. Each sip is punctuated by a refreshing round acidity and a refined mineral backbone that culminates in a clean, precise finish. This Riesling's crisp, mineral-driven finish, marked by lingering notes of lime zest and grapefruit pith, invites you to savor every moment.
For optimal enjoyment, consider these serving suggestions:
- Serve chilled (around 8-10°C) in a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate the delightful aromas and enhance its inherent freshness.
- Create a refreshing white wine spritzer by mixing equal parts of this Riesling with sparkling water over crushed ice, garnished with fresh mint leaves and thin lemon slices.
- Pair it with spicy Asian cuisine, such as Thai green curry or Szechuan chicken, to create a beautiful balance with the wine’s off-dry character.
- Enjoy with creamy cheeses (e.g., goat cheese or mild blue cheese) served alongside fresh sliced pears and a drizzle of honey to enhance the wine's crispness.
- Transform it into a light summer cocktail by mixing the Riesling with fresh lime juice, muddled basil, and a hint of simple syrup, served on ice.
- Delight in outdoor brunches where dishes featuring citrus and herbs, like avocado toast and smoked salmon with dill, complement this wine beautifully.
- Indulge your sweet tooth by pouring it over tropical fruit salads (e.g., mango, pineapple) with a garnish of edible flowers.
- For a unique twist, blend with peaches and vanilla extract to create a refreshing frozen slushie.
The Tinpot Hut Turner Vineyard Marlborough Riesling 2022 encapsulates a refreshing brightness and elegant complexity that epitomizes the essence of Marlborough wines. Enjoy this exquisite Riesling to elevate your dining experience and create unforgettable moments.

Storage advice
For storing white wine optimally (such as a Riesling) follow these practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Maintain storage between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). This cooler range preserves the wine's freshness crispness and delicate aromas without accelerating aging.
- Light Exposure: Store the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light to prevent UV damage which can degrade flavor and color.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle's cork or screw cap is intact and airtight to prevent oxidation. Avoid long-term storage in a refrigerator as dry conditions can shrink corks and allow air ingress.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally if sealed with cork to keep the cork moist and prevent it from drying out and leaking air.
- Humidity: Maintain a relative humidity of around 60-70% to keep corks from drying while avoiding mold growth on labels and capsules.
- Special Tips: Avoid temperature fluctuations as constant temperature changes can cause the wine to expand and contract potentially damaging the seal and quality. For opened bottles reseal tightly and refrigerate; consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
These conditions help preserve both unopened and opened white wine bottles maintaining their quality and shelf life effectively.
