Riesling from New Zealand - Otago
Review Date : 25-Feb-2018
Bright, very pale straw colour with slight green hues, colourless on the rim. The nose is very elegant and refined in presentation with a core of lime fruit entwined with subtle and soft notes of toast unfolding an amalgam of white florals and minerals. Medium in sweetness and light-bodied, the palate has soft and harmoniously integrated flavours of lime fruit, white florals and honeysuckle, with gentle notes of toast and minerals. The mouthfeel is rich and lush, and smooth-flowing with soft acidity lending mellow drive and energy. The wine carries to a soft and gentle, honied finish. This is a harmoniously integrated medium Riesling with lime, flora and honied flavours and a little secondary toastiness on a lush, smooth-flowing palate. Serve as an aperitif and with Asian fare over the next 4-5 years. Fruit from the ‘Epicurious’ vineyard, WBP and in stainless-steel fermented to 11.0% alc. and 21 g/L RS, TA 8.44 g/L and pH 2.85. 18.0+/20 Feb 2018 RRP $24.00
