A label refresh means this premium Otago producer has slashed stocks of their 5 Star, 95/100 rated, single vineyard Central Otago Riesling from the Pisa Terrace in Lowburn – and boy are you in for a treat with this one. What was crafted to sell at the $27 mark has been slashed by over 60% and $17 per bottle! Discounts like that are almost unheard of. This is a banging value for money, quality, off-dry style Riesling!

This is a truly awesome, dry style Riesling well worth the price tag of $27 per bottle. It was put in front of two local critics at the end of 2019 and came up with glowing reviews…

5 Stars, 95/100 (Sam Kim)
“Youthful and elegantly expressed, the wine shows lemon peel, crunchy apple and lime sorbet characters with a hint of spicy complexity. It’s focused and bright on the palate with excellent weight and drive, finishing impressively long and vibrant. At its best: now to 2025.”

4 1/2 Stars (Michael Cooper)
“Grown at Lowburn, the attractive 2015 vintage (4.5*) was made in an off-dry style. Bright, light lemon/green, it is fresh and lively, with good intensity of citrusy, slightly limey flavours, a touch of bottle-aged complexity, and a long, racy finish.”

Kalex are a premium Central Otago producer founded by Alex Kaufman, a Polish American businessman, entrepreneur and holocaust survivor. He arrived in the US with nothing but the clothes on his back and a quarter in his shoe. His later success in business and love for wine lead him to NZ and specifically Central Otago, where he started the Kalex label.
