96/100 55

A wonderfully pure, taut expression of Riesling with an exquisite balance of sweetness against fine acidity giving subtle tension and a lingering, “juicy” finish. Fine slate/mineral and citrus/floral flavours. Superb wine that’s remarkably accessible now but has assured potential for bottle age.

Tasted: Jan 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $38 (~USD $32)
