Description
Single vineyard riesling from Marlborough icon winery Dry River.
A small amount of residual sugar, 5 grams/litre, offers an appropriate entrance for pineapple, and even mango.
So much of this wine is texture though.
A voluptuous densely packed palate with texture and fruit weight makes a real statement.
A friendly acidity salivates and draws the attention to the mid palate.
Here, orange and grapefruit rind with citrus fruit dominate their space.
The distinct linear acidity builds the palate up to a seamless long finish.
“Apricot, ginger and lime marmalade, musk, spice and all manner of spicy and aromatic things going on.
Juicy, ripe lime and mango, assorted citrus and honey, intense cut of acidity, chalky texture, and an almost savoury finish, that turns fruity and sizzles with acidity and stony feels.
So nicely done” 94 points The Wine Front The Finer Details Style – White Wine Varietal – Riesling Country – New Zealand Region – Martinborough Vintage – 2017 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 11%
