“Lyric” Riesling Cellar Release

Price range: $40.25 through $49.00

Some of our earliest vintages of our Lyric Riesling that has been rated one of the top Riesling in New Zealand by wine critics and designated a “Classic Wine of New Zealand”. These vintage are drinking beautifully now and have on-going cellaring potential. These wines have been carefully stored in temperature controlled conditions.

Lyric is the songlike quality in poetry, the pleasing succession of sounds in music, and a lyric soprano is a voice of light and unforced quality. So it’s the perfect name for a wine that is pure, expressive yet restrained.
