Wine Notes
Winemaker Notes:
Classic Marlborough Riesling in a medium-dry style.
Bouquet: Plenty of tropical fruit, citrus and light spice on the bouquet. Variously described as having citrus blossom and glazed Tarte Tatin aromatics by the commentators.
Palate: A good tight entry to the palate, full bodied and fleshy middle and a good long finish.
