Bald Hills Last Light Central Otago NZ Riesling 2006

85/100 45

An unusually rich and creamy wine with subtlke wild flower and stone fruit flavours. Soft and with some sweetness but relatively dry in the finish with gentle acidity. I was surprised to discover that it was a Central Otago wine because it seemed riper and softer than I’d expect from that region. A lingering finish impresses.
