Vinoculation

Amazing colour; frosted and extremely clear with a stramineous hue and flecks of green. Aromas of sweet Braeburn apple, musk, honeycomb and white peach. Already intriguing and complex for such a young wine. It’s a sweet and sour festival in the mouth, bathing the tongue in sugary citrus goodness before reverting to an eye-twitching lemon twist. The texture has some grip – a pleasing hint of astringency – finishing with some structural dominance that begs for more time in bottle. More complexity than the ’02 and greater depth than the ’05, the 2006 Moutere Riesling promises grandeur in the future.
