Novas Gran Reserva Riesling 2024 Description
This elegant Riesling reveals its complexity gradually, unfolding layer by layer as it breathes. Initial aromas of fresh lime and honeysuckle give way to a distinctive steely minerality that speaks to the wine's terroir. On the palate, the mid-weight structure and off-dry profile create beautiful tension - bright citrus flavours are anchored by natural salinity, while a subtle flinty character persists through to the finish.
The 2024 vintage demonstrates excellent ageing potential. The wine's natural acidity and mineral backbone provide the framework for graceful development over the next 8–12 years. Early drinking reveals its vibrant freshness, yet patience will reward with deeper complexity as the wine matures. The honeysuckle florals will evolve into more honeyed, waxy notes, whilst the lime will soften into stone fruit undertones. The flinty finish will become increasingly pronounced, adding textural depth.
Cellaring in a cool, dark environment will allow this Riesling to develop beautifully, making it an excellent choice for collectors seeking a wine that improves with time.
Oysters and shellfish, white meats and smoked salmon. Also great with vegetarian dishes and Asian cuisine.
