    Riesling Grapes Used By Vicarage Lane Wines In Blenheim Marlborough NZ

    Riesling is a grape of German origin from the Rhine Valley.  It grows readily in New Zealand and is becoming increasingly popular.

    It is often made in an ‘off dry’ style where the primary fruit characteristics are retained.

    When Riesling is enjoyed young it provides fresh, lively wines which are great as an aperitif, then as time goes on the wine has a wonderful ability open up and develop, offering a wider spectrum of delightful and interesting flavours.
