Rippon 'Jeunesse' Riesling 2019
Rippon
A unique and distinct parcel of land, cared for by the Mills family for over 100 years. Biodynamic farming, no irrigation and some of Central Otago's oldest vines on their own roots all help to produce fruit and wines that are true to their place.
Six varieties have chosen Rippon as their home - Pinot Noir, Riesling, Gamay, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc and Osteiner. Reflecting characteristics of the terroir, these wines are precise, detailed, layered and foliated.
Rippon's Cellar Door is open for wine tastings and sales from 11am-5pm, daily. Private tastings are available and are required for groups larger than 6.

The Rippon Jeunesse Young Vine Riesling 2019 vintage is a stellar release; a kaleidoscope of flavours from lime to grapefruit, juicy and tart and sweet-sour all at once. So much length, great texture with an almost crunchy finish. Brilliant expression of riesling.
As with the Jeunesse Pinot Noir, this is a wine of exuberance and life; this is a Riesling that speaks of its variety, of its fruit and not yet of its soils. As such, it is a wine best enjoyed in its youth.

This is a tasty number. It shows some light, savoury characters, sourdough dough and the like, but the mainstay is a kaleidoscope of citrus flavours, sweet, sour, juicy, tart, bright, racy, all meshed together in a succulent yet gently slippery way. It has length, stacks of flavour though a soft touch and it finishes bright and crunchy. It feels vibrant and cheery, fun to drink, but there’s a serious side too. It’s a complex and very good riesling which lots of personality.
