Riesling - 2007

Lamont Riesling

Central Otago, New Zealand

Winemakers Tasting Note A very clean and pure example of Riesling fruit. The nose and palate both deliver impressive layers of tropical characters including mango, lyches, perfumed fruit, tree blossom and intense fresh apricot. The wine exudes freshness and mouthwatering intensity with lovely zesty acid and supple silky volume that dances around the mouth. This wine is stunning and will age with grace into a toasty, honeyed elegant Riesling.
