85/100 45

High residual sugar (35gms/l) is balanced by equally high acidity and low pH to produce a strong sweet/sour character that gives the wine lots of tension. Although a little disparite now I expect the wine to develop well. Classy Riesling with potential.

Tasted: Jan 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $24 (~USD $20)
