Felton Road Dry Central Otago NZ Riesling 2009

90/100 45

A truly dry Riesling (although not as searingly dry as it once was) with chalky mineral and very subtle floral and citrus flavours. The wine struts its power with a remarkably long flavour - a true example of subtle power. Tangy Riesling - a great food wine.
