Misha's Vineyard Limelight Riesling 2017, Central Otago

White blossoms and lime, green apple and lemon, lime-flower, white peach and fresh pear d’Angou. A whisper of spice and cool stone minerality. On the palate - an off-dry style with a tease of residual sweetness that is immediately contrasted by focused, ripe and refreshing acidity - leading to a just off-dry finish. The lower alcohol holds all the flavours and satin textures in place. Fantastic balance and length. Best drink from today and through 2025+.

Outstanding

Tasted over two days - the freshness and youthful appeal remained strong. This has to be one of New Zealand’s/Aotearoa’s top Rieslings. It has always shown fabulous aromas and mouth feel with consistency of style across vintages.
