NobleRottersSydney - NZTrip - Martinborough (Martinborough): {screwcap, 12.5%} Well, the [today's] Rieslings are getting better. This has a steely, minerally, almost metallic nose, with a dash of glazed honey fruit. On the palate, the steeliness takes a backseat and citric flavours are predominant. With minimal sugar, there’s an acidic austerity about this wine that verges on the powerful. Seems not to budge at all even as it warms up in the glass – a lovely wine with a persistent finish. I’m not brave enough to predict an aging curve, sorry.
