93/100 55

This label (or a sister label) generally competes for top place in any Riesling tasting. Though classified as “sweet” it’s really medium/dry thanks to exquisite mouth watering acidity. Mineral and citrus flavours with a lingering finish. Top wine.

Tasted: Jan 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $30 (~USD $25)
