85/100 45

Creamy Riesling in an off-dry style with some residual sweetness perfectly balanced by acidity to give a pleasantly drying finish. Lime, citrus blossom and a hint of lanolin are some of the more obvious flavours. Subtle and sophisticated Marlborough wine that will appeal to a wide audience.

Tasted: Mar 2005   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $17 (~USD $14)
