87/100 45

Luscious, focused Riesling in a moderately sweet style with citrus/lime/lemon and chalky mineral flavours. Perfectly balanced by fine acidity with no sense of cloying. A fine example of sweeter Riesling made without ay botrytis influence.

Tasted: Feb 2011   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $28 (~USD $22)
