Misha's Vineyard Lyric Riesling 2019, Central Otago

Sophisticated, floral, charming, fruity and varietal with aromas of citrus, apple, blossoms, a core of minerality and just a whisper of saltiness. Complex and seductive. On the palate - tense, fresh, crisp and dry. Flavours mirror the nose with a light sherbet-like prickle accentuated by the acidity, a core of minerality then flavours of citrus and apple, Meyer lemon and a touch of lemon barley sugar. Youthful with high acidity, coarse-silk texture and long finish. This wine belongs in your cellar till 2022 then try again. It does however make for an excellent aperitif anytime. Best drinking from 2022 through 2032.
