Two Rivers Juliet Riesling 2020, Marlborough
Ripe, plush, fresh an very youthful bouquet. Aromas and flavours of fresh, pear, apple, citrus and citrus blossoms. Brown pear, yellow and green apple, sweet lemon and white spring flowers. A mineral core emerges with a fine wet pebble aroma. Off-dry at first with a deliberate residual sweetness and silky almost creamy attack, the acidity quickly kicks in to offer contrast as well as showcase the fruit and mineral flavours and add a crisp cleansing lengthy finish. Needs another few weeks to settle in fully. Best drinking from November/December 2020 through 2026+. An easy choice for foods with a natural sweetness of their own or with a medium spice attribute.
