Two Paddocks Dry Riesling

Two Paddocks is the “The Fine Wine & Cheering Up Business” of famous NZ actor Sam Neill.

The First Paddock was Sam’s first vineyard – 4.6 hectares of 100% Pinot Noir planted in Central Otago’s Gibbston Valley in 1993. These days he’s got The Last Chance (Earnscleugh), Red Bank Farm & Vineyard (Alexandra Basin) and The Fusilier (Felton Road, Bannockburn).

In their own words they’re “A very very small company, utterly obsessed with Pinot Noir. And Riesling. And with great pride – organics, quality, authenticity, detail and style. Having said all that, we don’t take ourselves at all seriously – the seriousness we leave to our SERIOUS wines.”

This is the 2025 vintage of the Two Paddocks Dry Riesling – organically grown from a single, one hectare block (formerly a ram paddock) from Two Paddocks’ Red Bank Vineyard in Alexandra, Central Otago. It’s a true dry style Riesling (for you wine nerds out there it’s 5 grams of residual sugar) – it’s all juicy, fragrant citrus fruit flavours like lime and green apple with crisp acidity and a gorgeous dry finish. A great pairing to match the rich saltiness of fresh oysters or spicy Asian cuisine.

Certified BioGro organic this is good to go now or cellar for up to 6-8 years from vintage.
