88/100 45

Delicious wine with the interplay of sweetness and acidity I expect find in a perfectly ripe Gala apple. It’s neither cloying or excessively acidic. The texture is ethereal and the finish lengthy. Accessible wine for current drinking but with moderate potential.

Tasted: Jan 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $25 (~USD $19)
