Terrace Edge Liquid Geography Riesling

Originally a sheep farm in Waipara (north Canterbury) and converted by planting 2000 olive trees on the lower terrace. With zero experience and a complete trial and error approach, they’ve gone on to become a multi award winning, boutique, certified BioGro organic Waipara wine producer that has been voted the NZ Organic Vineyard of the Year on multiple occasions over the years. Nice one guys!

Several years ago, and before most had even heard of Terrace Edge, the famous Gourmet Traveller Magazine called these guys “a winery to watch” – they were bang on!

This is their 2025 Liquid Geography and as well as being certified organic, is sheer liquid heaven. It’s something of a signature wine for Terrace Edge these days and has a bit of a following from those that like their Rieslings leaning towards the richer, sweeter style.

In their own words – “We, along with many others, believe the Waipara Valley to be a very special place for Riesling. This is a sweeter style wine – we leave the fruit on the vine longer to develop concentration and late harvest character (5% botrytis). This honeycomb flavour is beautifully balanced with fresh citrus characters.”
