Black Estate Damsteep Riesling 2023, North Canterbury
A distinctive bouquet of variety and ripeness, complexity and site. A textured wine touches the palate first then a flourish or apple and lemon fruits follow. Apple flesh and lemon pith, then flavours of clay and chalk come to mind with a mineral frame accentuated by the acidity and lees mouthfeel. There’s a tickle of youthful spritz that disappears after 20 minutes. A lovely long finish, ripe, varietal and complex. Best drinking from 2027 through 2037+.
