Yealands Estate Winemaker's Reserve Noble Riesling is a truly exceptional wine that showcases the best of New Zealand's Marlborough region. Produced by the award-winning Yealands Estate Winery, this sweet and elegant Riesling is made from hand-picked grapes that have been affected by botrytis, resulting in a rich and complex flavor profile. Notes of tropical fruits, honey, and citrus create a luscious and aromatic bouquet, while the palate is filled with flavors of apricot, peach, and spice. This luxurious wine pairs perfectly with desserts like fruit tarts or crème brûlée, making it an ideal choice for special occasions or moments of indulgence.

Tasting Notes

This is a deeply aromatic wine, with honey suckle, baked orchard fruits and quince aromas. The palate is opulent and rich with juicy stone fruits, honey, lemon curd, that is beautifully balanced with acidity and natural sweetness.

About the Winery

Yealands Wine Estate, in New Zealand, makes wines that are close to nature. The place is located close to the oceans, so there is a hint of sea spray in each and every bottle of wine created here. Located in the northeastern corner of South Island, Yealands Estate was set up with the aim of becoming one of the world’s finest sustainable vineyards.

The vineyards are located in New Zealand’s best wine-growing region, Marlborough Valley. The microclimate prevailing the coastal regions of these vineyards helps to give a distinct flavour and character to the varietals grown here. Established in 2008 by Peter Yealands, this wine estate is a result of hard work, passion for winemaking and sustainable viticultural practices.

The areas in Awatere Valley were considered as unsuitable for winemaking for many years, until the Yealands family decided to change certain things. The Seaview Vineyard, from where grapes are sourced for this brand’s wines, is located at the base of the Kaikoura Mountain Range, and it stretches up until Cook Strait. Currently, this vineyard is the biggest, privately-owned vineyard in the entire country of New Zealand.

The Marlborough Valley experiences the longest hours of sunlight in the country; this, when combined with the coastal climatic conditions, helps in the natural ripening of the grapes here. The coastal winds and the previous vine prunings are used to make natural sources of power, to keep the vineyards as natural as possible, and free from diseases.

The grapes used for making Yealands Estate Wines are Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Gruner Veltliner, PGR and Chardonnay. PGR is the wine that is made from a blend of Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Riesling. Among the reds, the varietals used are Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah and Tempranillo. Apart from the red and white wines, Yealands Estate also makes a few rose’ wines.
