Paddy Borthwick 2022 Riesling, Wairarapa, NZ, doz @ $28ea.
Riesling
2022
Buyers must be at least 18 years old and located outside a designated dry zone to purchase alcohol.
An enticing aroma of white florals, lime, and savoury apple. Medium bodied, off-dry in style, with intense citrus, lemon-barley, and marmalade flavors, showing good depth. Drink now or age for 6 years and let the wine show the developing complexities of a great Riesling.
Our Riesling is picked and quickly pressed prior to settling and inoculation with selected yeast strains that promote a slow, cool fermentation. The fermentation is arrested when we feel the best balance has occurred between sweetness and acidity.
