Description

"Superbly composed and immensely appealing, the wine shows lemon peel, lime sorbet and candied apple characters with a hint of toasty complexity on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate that's brilliantly focused and persistent. Superbly balanced and harmonious with a lengthy mouth-watering finish. Style: Dry. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2019

Marlborough's complex amalgam of older crushed gravels and clay produces Rieslings with exotic flavours, rich texture and lovely acidity. This delicious example has enticing scents of crushed Kaffir lime leaves, orange blossom and mango, it expands across the palate, is rich and full, yet remains delicate and balanced with a refreshing flinty acidity.

The vineyards from which this Mystery Riesling hails from, lies on geologically older soils, crushed stones with a portion of clay which imparts stone fruit flavours and Asian spice; with a softer acidity and tremendous mouth texture. Riesling’s great strengths are its ability to be made to the highest quality in a diverse number of styles and to reflect the terrior in which it grows. This ‘single valley’ wine is a true reflection of its terroir.

When I saw that this wine was 2012 I thought it may be over the hill: but it is a perfect dryish reisling.
