Wines by KT Melva Riesling 2024 from Watervale’s Peglidis Vineyard is a wild‑fermented, off‑dry Clare Riesling with gorgeous floral spice, blossom and quince layered over ripe citrus and stone fruit in a wonderfully aromatic, inviting style. The palate of this Melva Riesling 2024 is slippery and luscious yet finely balanced, with succulent fruit, gentle sweetness (around 5 g/L RS), bright acidity and a touch of nutty, lees‑derived savouriness.

Melva is made for rich, aromatic food – think pork belly, duck, lightly spiced Asian dishes, soft washed‑rind cheeses and fragrant curries where a little residual sugar and texture work beautifully with spice and salt. It is also a cracking choice for charcuterie and cheeseboards when you want something more exotic than a straight dry Clare Riesling.

Wines by KT Melva Riesling 2024 is single‑vineyard, dry‑grown and vegan‑friendly, wild‑fermented in old French oak barriques, left on lees for around four months with regular stirring, and bottled with no acid, enzymes, fining or filtration – a highly individual, Alsace‑inspired expression that will develop more honeyed, complex notes with a few years in the cellar
