CLOUDY BAY LATE HARVEST RIESLING 2004

  

This is an aromatic, luscious wine that will develop rich honeyed botrytis complexity with age.

PEGASUS BAY 'ARIA' LATE PICKED RIESLING 2007

  

The aromas and flavours are suggestive of ripe stone fruits, such as nectarines and white peaches, intertwined with lemons and limes.  Behind these there are hints of ripe, raw figs and tropical spices.  The botrytis adds honey, honeysuckle and beeswax elements.  Low crops have given it extra concentration but while it is mouth-filling and luscious it has a backbone of minerality and acidity which keep it tightly knit, focussed and elegant.  It lingers on the palate well after swallowing.

Although ready to drink on release it should, with careful cellaring, develop additional fascinating nuances and complexities over the next five or six years and live for a decade or more.
