Spy Valley Envoy Marlborough Riesling 2008
The nose is of vibrant lime, lemon and green apple with a pleasant hint of wet river stones. The sugar/acid balance is in the
"Spatlese" style, with refreshing juicy fruit characters. Beeswax and
lanoline linger in the background and the high extract leaves a faint
impression of salt.
Residual sugar of 79gms is beautifully balanced by the grape's natural acidity. Alcohol is just 9.0%
