There is plenty of Riesling with varying amounts of residual sugar being toyed with in the Central Otago region. This wine from Peregrine carries 25 grams.
The bones of a good wine are there but the balance just ain't quite right. Sweetness hits you straight up before some good acid brings things around to balance it out. Honeyed tones slide under apricots, white fleshed nectarine and green apples. This would suit dishes with a spicy kick.
Drink now to five years.
