83/100 35

Unusual, developed Riesling with a mineral, toast and hay/straw character. Reasonably fresh. Medium/dry with a soft texture and good length. Distinctive wine with a gentle flavour that’s not strongly varietal. Lacks purity.

Tasted: Oct 2008   Closure: Diam    Average price: NZD $21 (~USD $16)
