NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Riesling from Domain Road Vineyard's Duffers Creek is a delightful expression of the varietal.With its vibrant acidity and off-dry finish, it showcases the classic characteristics of a cool-climate Riesling.
On the nose, expect enticing aromas of lime zest, green apple, and white flowers. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with a zingy acidity that perfectly balances the wine's residual sugar. Flavors of juicy lime, grapefruit, and hints of stone fruit dance on the tongue, creating a harmonious and well-rounded experience.
The wine's bright acidity and refreshing nature make it an excellent choice for pairing with a variety of dishes. It would complement seafood, particularly shellfish, beautifully. Additionally, its vibrant flavors and zesty character make it a fantastic aperitif or a refreshing choice for warm summer days.
While I can provide a comprehensive analysis of this wine based on its general characteristics, it's important to note that specific details or nuances may vary between vintages.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domain Road Vineyard
Region: Central Otago
Huddled in the bottom of New Zealand's South Island, Central Otago is the world's southernmost wine region. With its unique terroir, Central Otago is home to some of the country's most exciting and distinctive wines.
Central Otago's wine industry began in the late 19th century, when the first vines were planted in the region. However, it wasn't until the 1980s that the region began to gain recognition for its wines. Since then, the region has become one of New Zealand's most important wine regions, producing some of the country's most sought-after Pinot Noirs.CUSTOMER RATING
