2020 Apple Valley Riesling, Greenhough, Nelson
2020 Apple Valley Riesling, Greenhough, Nelson
An off dry Riesling with a real zing and great character. The previous vintage was scored 90 points by the Wine Advocate, and this new 2020 vintage is even better at just 9% alcohol, it’s a perfect lunch time sipper.
Tasting note:
Aromas in the ripe citrus spectrum with a subtle background of mandarin/orange blossom and leaf. Lively acidity is carried by beautifully ripe, naturally sweet fruit on the palate. Finishes dry and harmonious. Stop fermented to retain enough residual sweetness to balance low pH and a predominantly citrus aromatic and flavour profile. Subtle citrus florals, with a fresh, lemon-lime aromatic and hint of flint. Classic just off-dry style Riesling with notable structure and texture being as important to the palate as fruit flavour. Persistent and poised with real promise. Lovely as an aperitif, or with aromatic Asian cuisine.
Critic's review:
“Delicious young, this light-bodied (9.5% alc/vol), gently sweet wine is attractively scented. It has intense, peachy, citrusy flavours and shows excellent freshness, delicacy and harmony.”
90 points, Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate on the previous vintage
