Villa Maria Private Bin Riesling Branco

Description

Let's be honest, this Marlborough Riesling is a touch overblown with its claims of “mature” bouquet and “pure” aromas. Thankfully, the slow, stainless steel fermentation keeps a delightfully refreshing quality, though it doesn't deliver any fireworks. It’s a light wine with a bracing acidity – a nice touch, perhaps, but more suggestive than truly profound. Hints of apricot and mandarin attempt to elevate it, yet the overall impression is of a pleasant, easy-drinking wine. Perfect with grilled fish or gently spiced chicken.
