Urlar Riesling 2017 Wairarapa - 12 Bottles
Availability: In stock
Over 1 sold
The hand harvested Riesling grapes for this tropical and balanced white wine were first sorted for the ripest bunches, and then gently pressed. This pressing avoided any unattractive phenolics in the wine. In a glass, the drink exhibits a pale green straw colour. A swirl of the glass releases bright aromas of Granny Smith apples, citrus and lime zest. These lively fragrances are seamlessly followed by a dry palate. Showing a tight mineral line, the richly textured palate makes way for a pleasing finish. This delicious wine has been crafted for consumption upon release, though 5 or more years of cellaring will be highly rewarding. Suggested food pairings are strong cheeses, Asian dishes and mildly spiced tapas.
