Kimura Cellars Marlborough Dry Riesling 2025

Beautifully dry Riesling

"Clear apple flavor and rich fruitiness unique to 2025."

When poured into a glass, the aroma of ripe pear, white peach, and sweet white flowers rises.

The taste is a beautiful blend of clear apple-like fruitiness and elegant acidity.

The 2025 vintage is particularly impressive for its fruit concentration, rich body, long finish, and minerality. The aroma, which returns after swallowing the wine, also features fresh green apples.

Kimura's best dry Riesling

The grapes are sourced from a contract farmer in the Wairau Valley. The soil in the fields is clay-rich loam. While Marlborough tends to be dry, clay fields have the advantage of being less susceptible to water shortages, and the grapes grown there are transformed into wines with a full body.

The powerful fruitiness that comes from this soil is perhaps Kimura Riesling's greatest feature.

Brewing Information

To maximize the freshness and aroma of the fruit, all wines are fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks.

As the residual sugar content of 6.3g/L indicates, it has a crisp, dry style.

Pairing suggestions

The clear acidity and minerality of this wine make it a particularly excellent match with the following dishes:

• Tempura or fried flounder : The crispy texture of the batter complements the richness and acidity of the wine.
• Marinated shrimp or crab, pickled vegetables : The wine's elegant acidity blends pleasantly with the acidity of the food.
• Shungiku and pork shabu-shabu hotpot : The slightly bitter taste of the shungiku further enhances the wine's white floral nuances and concentrated fruit flavor.

This one-of-a-kind Riesling expresses the Marlborough terroir with Kimura's unique and delicate sensibility.

The 2025 vintage's rich fruitiness and long finish make it perfect for enjoying now, but it will also age well in the years to come.

Kimura Cellars not only produces Sauvignon Blanc, but also delicious Riesling. This wine is packed with the passion of Japanese people working hard in New Zealand, so be sure to give it a try.

About the Kimura Cellars Winery

KIMURA CELLARS is a family-run winery run by Japanese owner Shigehisa Kimura.

Kimura studied winemaking and viticulture in New Zealand and gained experience working in cultivation and brewing at several local wineries before founding Kimura Cellars in Marlborough in 2009.

Based on the concept of "wine where you can see the face of the maker" and "producers who are close to consumers," we carefully craft wine using organic farming methods.

In 2018, they finally began cultivating grapes in their own fields, which was a long-cherished dream of theirs, and are now focusing even more on organic farming methods.

The Kimura Cellars logo is a cherry blossom motif that represents the new shoots of a fern (koru), a symbolic plant of New Zealand. The fern is a symbol of New Zealand and represents new beginnings, growth, and harmony.

About Marlborough

Marlborough is the heart of New Zealand's wine region.

Marlborough has ideal natural conditions for grape growing, such as abundant sunshine and large temperature differences throughout the day, and produces over 80% of New Zealand's wine.

Among them, Sauvignon Blanc, characterized by its crisp acidity and overflowing fruitiness, boasts an overwhelming production volume and is loved worldwide for its unique character. In red wine, Pinot Noir, with its rich berry fruit flavor, is also popular.
