Forrest Marlborough Riesling 2023

A slightly off-dry style of Riesling from the Southern Valleys district in Marlborough, New Zealand. This is a style that is enormously underrated. The colour is a pale lemon hue. Quite ripe in style, there are notes of lemon curd, peaches, white jasmine, citrus, apricot kernels and honeycomb on the nose. The wine is of medium length and it seems as though the palate is taking just a little time to catch up with the nose. It will get there. Best to give the wine two to three years and then enjoy it over the following ten to twelve. There is a clean finish and a good line of acidity. Worth cracking a bottle with your favourite Asian takeaway.
