John Forrest Collection Wairau Valley Noble Riesling 2013

World class sweet riesling from the estimable Dr. John Forrest. It has brilliant deep golden colour and delightful aromas of orange peel, mandarin, and cumquat marmalade. There’s also a light toastiness to add savoury dimension. In the mouth it’s very sweet, and it has great concentration without heaviness, leading seamlessly through a lingering aftertaste. Superb with tarte Tatin.
