PB Encore Noble Riesling 2016

A perfect summer and a warm dry autumn enabled us to leave these grapes on the vine until late into the season, thus enabling them develop noble botrytis.

On release, it is a bright lemon-gold colour. The abundant aromas and flavours evoke impressions of ripe cantaloupe melon, mango, pineapple, lychees, and manuka honey. On the palate, the wine is rich and unctuous. Underneath this, however, there is a streak of minerality and fine acidity that keep it fresh, lively and refined, drawing out its lingering after flavours.
