2013 Best's Great Western Riesling

Best’s consistently produce outstanding Rieslings which are rated as one of the country’s best. Their Riesling vines were first planted as part of Henry Best’s ‘Nursery Block’ vineyard in the 1860’s with subsequent plantings in 1944 and 1978. Brilliant water like colour with a faint greenish tinge around the edges and watery hue. The nose shows intense ripe lime aromas followed by some citrus, mandarin, talc and mineral. Mouthfilling flavours of lime and mandarin are followed by some citrus with a crisp mineral infused finish. Very long ripe lime, mandarin and citrusy mineral aftertaste.
