Konrad Sigrun Noble Riesling 2006 |
| Produced By
Konrad & Co. Ltd. |
| Wine Description |
|
A soft apricot colour. Noble botrytis, apricot, mango and passion fruit with hints of Riesling floralness on the nose. Rich and mouth filling on the palate, with intense perfumed honeyed, ripe apricot and peach flavours. Silky texture with excellent palate weight and a wonderfully long lingering finish complimented by a refreshing hint of acidity. A well structured Riesling drinking nicely while young, but with sufficient concentration to warrant cellaring for 3 to 15 years. The Perfect accompaniment to clean, crisp desserts, blue cheese, chicken, duck or goose liver patés – a dessert wine of pure indulgence. |

| TiZwine Accolades |
  |
| Honeysuckle on the nose and excellent tropical fruit flavours in the mouth. This is a rich, opulent, concentrated wine that is very sweet yet well balanced by the acidity allied to great persistency and length. Enjoy. |
