Esk Valley 2002 Riesling (Hawke’s Bay)

Country: New Zealand /
Variety: Riesling Hawke’s Bay
Winery: Esk Valley /

Austere and minerally, not exactly what you’d expect from a “warm” part of New Zealand. Some green apple and lime aromas lead into a refreshing palate laden with Green Gage plums. It’s lean and wiry, a firmly structured wine that finishes long and minerally.
