Riesling from New Zealand - Otago
Review Date : 08-Feb-2017
Bright pale straw-yellow colour, lighter on the rim. The bouquet is refined with well-concentrated and youthfully taut aromas of delicately sift lime fruit and white florals, and a ubtle layer of toasty secondary notes melded with a little honeysuckle and mineral elements. Medium in sweetness and light-bodied, the palate has good depth and a concentrated heart of lime fruit, white florals and nuances of savoury honeysuckle, complexed by secondary toasty nuances. The palate has good linearity and follows a light-textured line with fresh, poised underlying acidity. The mouthfeel is taut and carries to a positive, dryish, fine-textured finish with balanced subtly succulent lime and honey flavours. This is a taut, fresh, medium Riesling with lime fruit entwined with honeysuckle and toast complexities on a fine-textured, dryish, linear palate. Serve with Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese cuisine over the next 4-5+ years. Riesling fruit WBP and fermented in stainless-steel to 11.2% alc. and 25 g/L RS, TA 7.17 g/L and pH 2.91. 18.0/20 Jan 2017 RRP $24.00
