Muddy Water James Hardwick Riesling 2006
Waipara, New Zealand. 12.5% alcohol. Screwcap. Approx $A54 from restaurant wine list.
Superb. Though sadly, my online search for more has so far been in vain.
Pure and precise, crystalline and intense. The nose is fragrant and delicate with blossom and apple. In the mouth, 18 grams per litre of residual sugar is cut with mineral acid and fine lingering fruit. Pin point in its accuracy, but generous in spirit.
Excellent.
18.6/20 (95/100).
Drink now - 2017.
