93/100 55

The first vintage (to my knowledge) of Black Estate Riesling is a successful wine in a medium/dry style but with a pleasingly dry finish. Good mineral character is evident with citrus and orange blossom. This is a serious Riesling.

Tasted: Apr 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $22 (~USD $19)
