The Doctors Riesling 750ml

2013 The Doctors' Riesling With cult status in the New Zealand wine scene, The Doctors’ Riesling continues to amaze wine critics and delight novices alike. Grown on our stony Condors Bend vineyard at Renwick, the fruit ripens slowly in Marlborough’s cool dry autumn climate, gaining flavour intensity yet retaining all important acidity. Harvested early at low sugars, the grapes were gently pressed, cold settled and given a cool slow fermentation which was arrested around 8.5% alcohol and 29 g/l residual sugar. The final decision on when to stop the wine fermentation is very much decided on acid/sugar balance. Tasting Notes Wow! It’s like biting into a deliciously crisp Granny Smith apple, licking lime sherbet and eating your first of the season Central Otago apricot, all at one time! The 2013 Doctors’ Riesling is simply stunning, oh so easy to drink and with the perfect balance of fruit sweetness and fresh acitidy at a modest 8.5% alcohol who feels guilty having a second glass? It’s firmly established as one of New Zealand’s favorite Rieslings; outselling any of our other, very fine, Rieslings ten to one. So chill a bottle and see for yourself what thousands of Kiwis are enjoying!
