The 2021 SOHO Maren Riesling is an organic, Mosel-inspired Riesling from Marlborough's Awatere Valley, crafted in an elegant off-dry style. Sourced from certified organic vineyards, it showcases vibrant fruit, floral aromatics and striking minerality. The nose is lifted with aromas of lime zest, mandarin and green apple, complemented by white blossoms, apricot stone and delicate citrus notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with lively natural acidity balanced by a gentle touch of sweetness. Flavours of lemon, tangerine and crisp apple are layered with a fine mineral edge, creating a fresh, textured wine that finishes long and refreshing. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to develop gracefully through to 2030.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy vibrant, off-dry Riesling with refreshing acidity and mineral elegance. Pair it with fresh oysters, Thai seafood, spicy Asian dishes, pork or soft cheeses. Serve well chilled and enjoy now for its youthful freshness or cellar for a few more years to reveal additional complexity.
