Spy Valley Late Harvest Riesling 2022

A luscious late harvest wine showing how good this style can be in New Zealand. The longer hang time on the vine allows the sugar and acid balance to be spot on. Concentrated lemon essence on the nose and palate with a floral perfumed lift. It’s a sweet style but the acid balance ensures it does not finish cloying. Nice wine.
