Anyone who doubts that Riesling develops well under screwcap need only taste this wine to have their fears dispelled. This is a taut, dry wine with appealing citrus, toast and mineral flavours. Acidity has mellowed and integrated.

Tasted: Jan 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $30 (~USD $23)
