The price of this limited edition wine has jumped by a third, although I’ve always thought it underpriced. A sweeter style, at spaetlese level, with floral, beeswax, mineral and pineapple flavours. Perfectly balanced with a lenghty finish. Very classy wine deserving of its price tag. Will cellar very well.

Tasted: Feb 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $40 (~USD $34)
