Riesling from New Zealand - Canterbury & Waipara
Review Date : 24-Aug-2022
Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is soft, penetrating citrus, mandarin, honey and light floral aromas. Medium-full bodied, medium-dry to taste, aromas of mandarin, orange marmalade, unfolding stonefruit, honey, ginger and citrus blossoms. The fruit has concentration and richness; sweetness contributes to the weight and broadness. Lively acidity injects vibrancy and lengthens to a salivating finish. This is a medium-style Riesling with richness, weight, balanced sweetness, and a ripe citrus core. Match with bacon-wrapped chicken and chicken livers over the next 5-7 years. 11.5% alc. 18.5-/20 pts (92 pts) Aug 2022 RRP $18.99
