The Summer of Riesling

The Golden Dawn is over the shimmering moon to present... The Summer of Riesling.

Friends and familiars will know us well as the champions of life’s underdogs, whether they be musical misfits and mystics, forgotten or forbidden foods, or indeed the lost and lonesome grape variety - such our dear little Riesling.

Riesling is truly one of the noblest of the white grapes, with vibrant acidity and longevity, it can be dry or sweet but always with a captivating fragrance. From delicate and racy to ravishing and hedonistic, to austere and mineral, heady and oily, perfumed or seductive. Riesling does it all.

The Golden Dawn have put together a liquid platter of some of New Zealand’s finest offerings - from sweet to dry, wide-eyed or bottled with a sigh... and let it be known that all of our pickings are bio-dynamic beauties too.

So, clamber onto our raft of curiosity, and enjoy with us our Summer of Riesling!
