Description

The Siren Song of Riesling grown in Waitaki, New Zealand, was too much for Sierra Reed to resist.

She has always loved the weight and power of German Riesling but wanted to find somewhere closer to home to make her own version. In the Te Kano vineyard in North Otago, she found it.

This comes with around 20g/l residual sugar, putting it firmly in the 'off-dry' camp of Riesling and the tension and drive of this wine demands it.

This is a beautiful new world Riesling made with passion by the one and only Sierra Reed.

"New Zealand is the reason I started making wine; a place that has called me and I am listening."
- Sierra Reed

New Zealand is the reason I started making wine; a place that has called me and I am listening. The wine is called ‘Siren’ because before I had ever heard of the Waitaki Valley, its wines found me in a glass. It was as though I was smacked in the face with a handful of crushed limestone whilst being swept below the sea and stung by an electric eel. I knew exactly what to do with that feeling, I just needed to find the people to help me do it. I met Grant Taylor of Valli wines in 2022, a man who also shares the same unbridled obsession with this place. With this relationship I was able to deepen my connection to this land further, committing to sites before I even had boots on the soil. This wine is a full circle moment; one I am finally able to share from my heart, created in the place where the journey began.
