Archangel Stephania
Central Otago Riesling 2015 $25
Zenek Zurakowski has cleverly added the official International Riesling Foundation sweetness scale to his back label, clearly indicating this is definitely on the dry end of the spectrum. Lifted green apple and luscious lime aromas literally leap from the glass and
then they rip across the tongue leaving a wake of wet stone and quartzy, mineral magic on the finish. Stunning stuff.
Sip with: sweet chilli prawns.

Central Otago Pinot Blanc 2016 $25
Pinot blanc is such a rare thing in this country, but Duncan Forsyth and Anna Riederer are experts at crafting some of the best year after year. It's a complex little number, with summer wild flowers, white peach, walnut flesh and soft, exotic spices alongside a squeak of honeysuckle, which adds a frill to the finish. I love it!
