2017 Dry River Craighall Riesling, Martinborough

White peach, ripe floral notes and mineral freshness show a dynamic between power and restraint. Rose's Lime cordial, hints of nougat with orange and mandarin flesh and fennel and clove spices, would almost suggest this is Pinot Gris. At the same time, it is unmistakably Riesling. A voluptuous densely packed palate with texture and fruit weight makes a real statement. A friendly acidity salivates and draws attention to the mid palate. Here, orange and grapefruit rind with citrus fruit dominate their space. The distinct linear acidity builds the palate up to a seamless long finish.
