Spy Valley Riesling 2009

Tasting Notes

Spy Valley Riesling 2009 - Paul Bourgeois

Riesling grapes are carefully selected from the best vines in our Marlborough vineyard, gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks to give intense floral and citrus characters. The wine is fruit-driven in style, elegant and delicate. The bouquet is typically intense fresh lime, green apple and floral aromas. The palate is vibrant and elegant with racy acid in a medium-dry style.
