Shop review: "From a single, low cropping vineyard in the Waipara valley. This has produced an approachable wine with complex citrus, spice and apple characters. Aromas of braeburn apples, citrus and spice with a hint of rose water are immediately apparent. On the palate the ripe citrus attack combines with a thread of mineral acidity. This balanced by residual sweetness to create a redressing off dry wine." - Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Crater Rim Riesling poured a clear to off-yellow color in the glass. On the nose, I noted citrus and fresh apples. The taste was subtle sweet, with oranges, mandarines, and apples on the tongue. I really enjoyed this riesling! It may have been one of my favorites that I've ever tried. Very refreshing.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
