A wine from Gibbston Valley in Central Otago. Still a super-pale green-straw colour in the glass, despite the seven years in bottle, and with an equally youthful perfume. Not big on the rose petals, but with enough varietal typicity to identify it. In the citrus, mandarin, lychee, and apple\/pear spectrum of flavours. Quite dry and tight, yet with an unctuous ripeness coming through as a waxy, silken texture spreads across the back of the palate. Aromatic wines like this will be a superb food match – with anything from roast chicken to spicy asian curries. A spicy, elongated finish. 93pts<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
