Tasting Notes

Poppies Martinborough Riesling is made bone dry for structure and longevity. However,
when drunk young, this can taste like squeezing fresh lime juice directly onto the palate –
very distinct and not necessarily everyone’s most desirable introduction to a wine. This is not
a wine for the impatient – it’s a wine for the curious, for the adventurer. This is a wine that
does not give up all its secrets at once. It’s been created in the vineyard to show the
intricacies and precise characters of the citrus and you’ll know you’re alive with the initial
taste. From distinct citrus and minerality, to hints of petroleum and through to flinty kerosene
and talcum, this is a wine of many advancing layers. Many have succumbed to her lean and
gangly beauty, and then been besotted by her gifted ageing abilities.
