93/100 55

Impressively concentrated Riesling with a touch of sweetness that helps accentuate citrus and tree fruit flavours. The wine has great fruit purity and impressive length. Certainly one of the country’s best examples of Medium/dry Riesling although expensive at this price.

Tasted: Jan 2008   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $50 (~USD $42)
