Lunessence 2023 Riesling
Emily’s fresh pairing white — bright, lively, and chosen for spicy food, sushi, seafood, salty snacks, and dishes that come alive with a little extra lift.
Emily’s Bottle Insight
Lunessence 2023 Riesling is the bottle Emily reaches for when food needs freshness, not weight. Its energy comes from bright acidity, vivid fruit, and a mineral finish that keeps each sip feeling clean.
Emily chose it for its jasmine, green apple, pear, lime, and passion-fruit character. The wine carries enough fruit to be friendly with spice, yet enough structure and definition to stay refreshing beside sushi, seafood, salads, and salty snacks.
It is the problem-solving white in the case — the bottle that makes a difficult pairing suddenly feel easy.
Summerland Riesling with Lift and Energy
Lunessence is based in Summerland, where the winery works with estate Riesling vines and a philosophy centred on balance from vineyard to cellar.
The 2023 Riesling combines floral and orchard-fruit aromas with citrus and tropical notes on the palate. Bright acidity gives the fruit definition, while a stony mineral finish keeps the wine focused.
That shape is why Riesling is so useful with food: it can soften the heat of spice, refresh after salty or rich flavours, and stay lively through a meal.
What You’ll Discover
Aromas: Jasmine, green apple, fresh pear, and delicate spice.
Flavours: Lime, passion fruit, green apple, citrus, and a stony mineral note.
Style: Bright, lively, fruit-forward, and sharply defined.
Character: Fresh enough for seafood and salads, with enough fruit for spicy food.
Varietal: Riesling.
Emily’s Pairing Pick
Pair it with Thai-style dishes, sushi, poke, prawns, fresh seafood, salty snacks, summer salads, picnic food, or lightly spiced appetizers.
Emily’s ideal pairing is Thai green curry with herbs and lime — the wine’s fruit softens the heat while its acidity keeps the pairing fresh.
Why It Belongs in Emily’s Case
The Fresh Pairing White. One bottle of Lunessence 2023 Riesling is included in Emily’s Curated Summer Case.
Mission Hill Pinot Gris is the easy patio white and Black Hills Viognier is the aromatic showpiece. Lunessence Riesling is the pairing specialist — bright, energetic, and ready for food that other whites can struggle with.
It is Emily’s first choice when the customer mentions spice, sushi, salty snacks, seafood, or a preference for lively whites.
