The 2025 Taka K Tussock Terrace Riesling is a beautifully balanced Riesling from Waipara Valley in North Canterbury, crafted by Takahiro Koyama in a gently off-dry style inspired by the great wines of Germany's Mosel region. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve purity and freshness, it opens with lifted aromas of lime blossom, lemon zest and white peach, complemented by honeysuckle, green apple and subtle mineral notes.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp natural acidity balanced by a delicate touch of residual sweetness. Flavours of citrus, pear and stone fruit are layered with a fine mineral edge, creating a wine with excellent precision and a long, refreshing finish. Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit, or cellar for up to five years as it gains additional complexity.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy elegant, off-dry Riesling with bright citrus fruit and refreshing acidity. Pair it with fresh oysters, Thai green curry, sushi, spicy Asian dishes or soft goat's cheese. Serve well chilled and enjoy while young, or cellar for a few years to reveal greater depth and harmony.
