Description
Prophet’s Rock Dry Riesling 2019
Nickname: The Alpine Edge
Enjoy it when:
For festive gatherings with lively flavours — when the table is cosy but the wine needs to stay crisp.
Bottle Tale (Holiday Edition):
High in the South Island’s snowy heartland, Central Otago gives Riesling a mountain-fresh precision. At Prophet’s Rock, Paul Pujol captures that alpine clarity and lets it glow with bottle age — bringing a little honeyed depth and extra confidence beneath all that citrus and cut.
Expect lime zest, white peach and crushed stone, wrapped in a texture that feels uplifting and refreshing — like stepping outside into crisp winter air between courses. It’s serious winemaking wearing holiday sparkle.
Let it linger:
Chill slightly — and pour into a generous glass so the texture and gentle maturity can unfurl. Brilliant with roast pork and crackling, sushi feasts, spiced Asian plates or salty snacks demolished by the handful. A bright reset button during rich, indulgent evenings.
