Reed Frequency Riesling 2024

There is a sort of pulsating urgency to this wine, a frequency if you will, the feel totally different from the Baroque grandeur of the Amplitude. Lithe and sinewy, the fruit is nonetheless lavishly complex. Yellow peach, red cherry, mint, cranberry, lime and  gardenia flower. Some extract here and real tannic grip, firmly holding the palate, whilst your tongue salivates with electric tension and super charged minerals. A total Riesling experience. Norris at Waters Wine Co

Tim and Ella have a very special site which produces fruit with a unique DNA that could only be from their vineyard Dragon Bones. Some growers grow fruit and some grow wine and they grow wine. This is a site that has the ability to make many different expressions of Riesling and Tim has the hand that could bring all of them to life. We are always at the mercy of Mother Nature as growers and Waitaki Valley would be one of the most difficult places to produce a good crop each year. It takes determination, obsession, curiosity and a connection to place that I feel Tim has and it comes through so clear in the wines. One day I will have a place close by to their vineyard as I’m very confident it will produce some of the greatest Riesling I will make in my lifetime. Sierra Reed, Winemaker
