About Dry Riesling

If you thought the Sauvignon Blanc plantings were small, check out the Riesling! Just 1.8ha of the little darlings, which on an annual basis makes only about 3000-4000 bottles.

Relatively well behaved in the vineyard, just need to ensure good exposure to sunshine and allow air to flow through the canopy.

Q&A with Little Beauty

Q: What occasions should I consider a Little Beauty Dry Riesling for?
A: One option is lunchtime drinking! Because it’s light and refreshing… and little lighter in alcohol. Or as an aperitif, because its characters are reminiscent of a sorbet. Pure, fresh, crisp. Lemons, limes, clementines. Mineral (flinty or chalky). Hints of honey and ginger.

Little Beauty is a relative new comer to the industry, first vintage being only 2008. But it didn’t take long for her to make an impression globally though!
