Neudorf Rosie's Block Riesling 2020 [CD 95]

CAMERON DOUGLAS MS

"Pure, varietal, distinctive and youthful bouquet with aromas of wild flowers and fresh white peach, sweet lime-flower and mandarin, apple and honeysuckle. Beautiful on the palate with a silky lite cream texture accentuated with fine lees, contrasting acidity and a core of fruit flavours that reflect the nose. Fantastic length and finish - the perfect aperitif style. 95 Points." (2020 Vintage)..

Bob Campbell MW 95 points.

Concentrated, mouth-wateringly dry riesling with citrus, lime, apple blossom and oyster-shell mineral characters. A perfect balance of subtle sweetness and crisp acidity builds pleasing tension and a lengthy finish. Should develop well with bottle age.

Lightweight Glass Bottle Riesling is on a roll. The grape is getting lot of love from actual wine drinkers not just winemakers, wine sellers and writers. Heavens to Betsy this is a wonderful thing because it is a joyous grape, it keeps forever and it loves all that healthy, delicious seafood New Zealand offers.

So to our Riesling – Neudorf Rosie’s Block Moutere Riesling Dry 2021. This wine is graceful and elegant from the get go. On the nose and rolling into the palate, delicate florals and gentle citrus notes are intertwined with soft summer herbs. There is a subtle minerality that glides through this wine leaving a beautifully refreshing finish.
