The Doctors Riesling 2010
The Doctors Riesling Profile
Now assuming cult status in the New Zealand wine scene the Doctors’ Riesling continues to amaze wine critics and novices alike. Grown on our stony Condors bend vineyard at Renwick the fruit ripens slowly, in Marlborough’s cool dry autumn climate, gaining flavour interesting yet retaining all important acidity. Harvested early at low sugars the grapes are gently pressed, cold settled and given a cool slow fermentation which was arrested around 8.9% alcohol and 44g/l residual sugar. The final decision on when to stop the wine fermentation is very much decided on taste and acid/sugar balance.
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Our fifth and, I feel, best yet Doctors’ Riesling shows those signature lime sherbet, granny smith apple and mandarin flavours make an appealing wine. On the palate aromas of citrus, apricots & Asian spice, lovely fruit sweetness, balanced by fine acidity; the wines naturally lower alcohol, 8.9%, ensure each mouthful is a refreshing delicious experience.
