94/100 55

The first vintage of a new label adds a sweeter (55 g/l residual sugar) wine to Martinborough Vineyards’ impressive range of stylish Rieslings. This delicately luscious wine has a drop-dead-gorgeous silky texture and juicy acidity. There may be a whisker of botrytis influence although the citrus/sttone fruit varietal character makes a stronger statement. Delicious wine.
