Effusively declared by Tongue in Groove MD Angela Clifford as 'probably the best Riesling we've ever made'. Drier than the 2013 vintage with only 6 g/l residual sugar, this a refined vintage of the trademark Tongue in Groove style. L&S (Sept 2018)

Plenty of complex, ripe mango, papaya and lime-pith aromas here with light honey and lime marmalade, too. The palate is supple, even and fresh with fleshy, smoothly resolved style and a glossy finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap. Rating: 92 Nick Stock, www.jamessuckling.com (Oct 2019)
Tongue in Groove
Six friends, five of them Roseworthy graduates (although the winemaker, Lynette Hudson, is a graduate of Lincoln) were prompted to form this 'perfect fit' team by the Canterbury earthquake and the realisation that they had to get on with doing something themselves as well as working for others. All well-connected in the NZ wine scene, they are able to source outstanding fruit and clearly have the expertise to turn this into outstanding wines. Check out their website at http://tongueingroove.co.nz/about/. Their first releases have already caused quite a stir - but are very limited in quantity.
