Description

"Made in an off dry style"

"This is a fabulous riesling showing fragrant aromas of lemon curd, mandarin, floral and white stone fruit on the nose. The palate is juicy and vibrant with subtle sweetness and perfectly pitched acidity, leading to a lingering delicious finish. Youthful and immensely attractive. Off-dry. At its best: now to 2020." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit. July 2016.

Gently off-dry, concentrated and juicy palate with classical ripe Marlborough Riesling flavours from gentle limes through to mandarin and nectarine. The weighty mouthfeel is electrified by a fine acidity which is in turn balanced perfectly with a hint of residual sweetness.

Fragrant, perfumed nose, reminiscent ripe lemon and mandarin. Hints of beeswax, floral orange blossom and flint add layers of complexity.

The Marble Leaf 2015 Riesling is made from a combination of well ripened fruit grown on our estate and from selected sites around the Wairau Valley. Made in an off dry style, the stony, boney, ex-river bed soils impart a distinctive mineral undertone into this delicate and elegant wine.

I look forward to enjoying this when our Auckland weather finally changes to summer. My sampling was a pleasure, even in the cold.

This is a great quaffing riesling, not too sweet and not overly dry

Very good Riesling for the price, Framinghams always make a good product and this is a great wine for enjoying over this summer. Would recommend for people looking to stock up for those lazy summer afternoons.

Pleasant wine with lovely after tones. Most generous price for the quality.

Let's not get carried away here. At $7.95 a bottle it is outstanding value but I feel that the 93 point rating is more to do with paid for wine reviews as opposed to critical and comparative judging. The wine is pleasant but has some unripe characteristics which I guess leads to some of the citrus allusions (particularly grapefruit). Don't get me wrong, if still available I might order another case but this will be based on price consideration not quality.
