Central Otago's great white made in sweet form balanced by fresh and gorgeously pure acidity, adding length to every succulent sip.
Made by one of New Zealand's biggest Riesling devotees, winemaker Duncan Forsyth, co owner of Mount Edward Wines. Duncan is one very inspired and skilled Riesling producer – a fanatic in fact (which is what it takes to makes truly great Riesling in NZ or anywhere for that matter).
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
