A sweet hearted young New Zealand Riesling and a bit of a sweetheart, too, with its no fuss approach to the grape. Aromas light up in white flowers, lemon citrus, honeysuckle and sweet crab apple. Crisp to taste and building in lemon, pink grapefruit, pith, spiced apple and sweet florals. Not a shouter, rather a Riesling working on its strong immediate drinkability, a light, attractive sweetness on board, zesty bright and crisp.
