From the oldest blocks of Riesling at Heaphy, in Moutere – this is the 50th vintage. A translucent lemon-green colour in the glass. A bouquet of lime, green apple, white pepper, grapefruit, ginger, kumquat and jasmine florals is bright and distinctly varietal. Racing over the tongue on a wave of zesty acidity. Well-structured, with a blend of waxy texture, a touch of toasted spice, and a wet stone minerality under that crisp acidity. A dry, lengthy finish with great balance. 92pts
