Description
"This is amazingly well priced. It's pristine, pure and delicate, yet full of gorgeous flavours. The elegantly fragrant bouquet shows white peach, lemon zest, floral and a touch of flinty complexity. It's juicy and focused on the palate with subtle sweetness which is perfectly balanced by refreshing acidity. It's one of those delightful, low alcohol (8.5%) rieslings. At its best: now to 2018." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 2013
An elegant wine bursting with flavours of citrus and green apples with a delicate honeysuckle note. Made in Germanic style, the natural residual sugar is balanced by firm acidity creating an off-dry impression.
This is a great Riesling to cellar for up to five years from vintage date (if you are patient enough), otherwise excellent drinking now.
Enjoy on its own as an alternative to sparkling wines or with seafood of other delicately flavoured foods.
The W5 range produced especially for blackmarket.co.nz members by one of NZ's premium award winning wineries embodies the philosophy of blackmarket's unique business model. "Quality wine, exclusively priced, direct from the winery"

A beautiful sweetish Riesling that we really enjoy. Brought a second case based on the first bottle tasted.

I agree that there is a good dose of wonderfully sweet elements in this wine, but what I really love is the playoff between the initial sweetness & the luscious lemony finish, almost mouth-puckering. Not only that, even if with a surprisingly low alcohol content, I feel that it is a great value wine. Hence, ordering more!

OK-but a little too sweet for my liking

Pleasant wine, slightly off dry style.

good value for money, light and fruity, but a little too sweet for our taste.
