"Waimea's most lush ‘sticky’ to date with very high residual sugar and intense flavours and complexity"
Champion Dessert Wine Trophy: Romeo Bragato Wine Awards
The 2004 Noble Riesling is undoubtedly Waimea's most lush ‘sticky’ to date with very high residual sugar and intense flavours and complexity – Botrytis influence is clearly evident. Musky citrus, marmalade and subtle oak all feature on the nose. Mouthfilling sweetness is balanced by good acidity and a lower alcohol, resulting in a wine of distinction and character. Sublime with blue cheese. Winemakers Notes
From the first vintage release of a trophy-winning Sauvignon Blanc in 1997, Waimea Estates has attracted attention. Bob Campbell MW commented early on: “I am profoundly impressed by the overall quality of the wines – this is clearly a winery worth watching.”
