Wild Earth are a boutique central Otago producer that have carved a name for themselves with their exceptional pinot noir and their supercool cellar door that attracts tourists from far and wide. There's no doubt that there is something special going on in every glass of Wild Earth wine.
Their 2022 riesling is no exception. Vinted in an off-dry style, it's vibrant and tangy with notes of citrus and granny smith apples dominating the palate. A touch of salinity brings balance to the equation and leaves a long, linering finish. A truly excellent example of Central Otago Riesling that will cellar well for 10+ years.

Tasting Notes
Sam Kim writes "Exquisite and pure, the wine shows lemon/lime zest, crunchy apple and white floral aromas with a hint of toasty complexity. The concentrated palate displays brilliant focus and persistency, superbly enhanced with subtle sweetness and beautifully pitched acidity, finishing refined and deliciously appealing. Style: Off-dry. At its best: now to 2034."
Cameron Douglas MS writes "A vibrant and vivacious bouquet, a delicious palate with flavours of lie and elderflower, lemon, apple and white rose. An off-dry expression with some sweetness with contrasting acidity. Flavours of apricot stone and pineapple, citrus and tree fruits. Salivating and refreshing, a delicious aperitif style, best drinking from 2024 through 2030+."
The winery writes "This beautifully balanced Riesling is full of inviting aromas of nectarine, apple blossom, citrus and white pepper. The palate is refreshing and bright with sweet lemon, crunchy pear, and green apple. Beautifully balanced, it has an intense front palate that crescendos to a complex, long and mineral finish with distinctive acidity that ensures great potential for aging. Enjoyable at release, this wine will continue to evolve for 12+ years."
