"Harmony is a word that oozes out of the 2023 Mature Vine Riesling. A juicy squeeze of residual sugar acts as the perfect counterpoint to the glacial pure Alpine acidity: this makes the drinker feel totally welcome while finishing with a definitive flourish of a conductor's baton on the final note. Lemon mousse, ripe green apple and white floral notes make the 2023 varietally classic, but balance and structure elevate it. This is elegant and poised. There's no need to wait—it's already delightful." —Rebecca Gibb MW

"The 2023 Rippon Mature Vine Riesling leads with dandelion and beeswax, white flowers and saffron, lanolin and brine. In the mouth, the wine is sleek, but the tail opens out to expose a wake of chalky phenolics. These provide grip and chew, and they are most welcome; it's a textural wine. The wine typically carries between eight and 12 grams of residual sugar per liter, and it carries it well—this year, it has 10.8 grams. 12% alcohol, sealed under Diam." —Erin Larkin

More about Rippon

Rippon sits on the shore of Lake Wanaka, on land the Mills family has farmed since 1912. Rolfe Mills planted experimental vines in 1975, and the first Rippon block went in by 1982, making these some of Central Otago's oldest commercial vines. The property has been farmed biodynamically for more than 20 years, with minimal intervention in the cellar. Pinot Noir is the headline, alongside aromatic whites like Riesling and Gewürztraminer. Precise, layered wines that taste like the landscape.
