93/100 55

Medium Riesling with strong lime zest/citrus and chalky mineral flavours. Lovely purity and power with an ethereal texture. The wine builds good tension between fruity acidity and a modicum of sweetness. A sophisticated and appealing wine that will age wonderfully.

Tasted: Aug 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $40 (~USD $30)
