Tasting Note: Grown on stony soils in the Waipara Valley, the Bel Canto Riesling exudes ripe citrus expressions intertwined with those of nectarines, peaches and greengages. It seems to expand in the mouth to become rich, concentrated and unctuous, yet retains the poise, elegance and finesse that is typical of this most aristocratic of grape varieties. There is a flow of acidity, derived from the vineyard soils, which course through the wine and draws out its length.
