Giesen are known for excellent riesling, with a reputation for producing nzs favourite. With this example, we've have been able to create a unique, limited release riesling using grapes from awatere valley. We fermented and matured a portion of the blend in granite, creating this precious gem: gemstone by giesen. Expect elderflower and lime on the nose with subtle tropical fruit. The palate bursts with sweet mandarin and lemon sherbet. Tight acidity gives the wine a delicious raciness, while the textured palate and residual sweetness provide richness and a finish that is balanced and moreish.
