Late Picked Riesling Wines

Yet another sweeter styled, low alcohol (9%) wine from Delatite made from the variety they excel in - riesling. Lovely aromas of orange peel and florals adorn the nose, then on the palate it has plenty of up-front sweetness, but finishes with refr...

The sheer brilliance of engineering that Pegasus Bay brings to botrytis riesling is something to behold. By some form of unspoken magic, they manage to take fruit of concentration of epic proportions and rampant energy and pull it into an impeccab...

Sweet wine but not at all cloying. Tropical/quince-like characters uplifted with excellent level of acidity and toasty/apricot kernel complexity.

Classy, very elegant Waipara wine with a rich, floral, gently honeyed bouquet and fresh, pure, late harvest fruit flavours, showing excellent richness. Finely focused, with a luscious sweetness coupled with mouth-watering acidity. A beauty.

Fresh, herbal nose with interesting pine-like notes, leading to a simple, spicy, fruit salad palate.

This has plenty of botrytis-derived complexity: dried orange peel, lime peel, some apricot and fragrant Canberra minerals. The palate's struck on a balance between fine acidity and luscious, smooth riesling fruit - really nicely judged - and very ...

An appealing wine showing some slightly residual sweetness but balanced with a beautiful, delicate acid that keeps it tight and crisp with a persistent finish. You could drink a lot of this.

Appearance: A brilliant, fresh, green straw colour. Aroma: A lively, rich nose displaying tropical passionfruit, lemons and limes and some perfumed, floral notes. Palate: The richness of the nose follows onto the palate. An Elegant combinati...

Beautifully aged golden wine that still shows good sweet varietal fruit characters.

Aged melon nose and nicely balanced soft sweet mature flavours.

Glowing yellow-green; the bouquet has intense lime aromas and shows obvious botrytis influence, but that influence diminishes somewhat on the powerful, ever-so-slightly broad, palate. Nonetheless, convincing stuff.

This delicious dessert wine is an exquisite liquid gold. Rich and ripe, with powerful floral and tropical flavors balanced with lush sweetness and refreshing acidity. Enjoy chilled with fresh fruit or rich desserts now, or cellar for up to 6 years.

A simple sweetish nose has notes of citrus and confectionery. In the mouth it has a sweet lime flavour that's round and smooth. Good acidity gives structure and keeps it from cloying the palate. A fun sort of riesling to serve at a retro party.

Excellent style; achieves elegance and intensity, with overtones of the Rheingau; picked late but the fermentation stopped. Serve fully chilled.

Bright colour; lemon and talc. bouquet; good flavour, lightly sweet, and with quite a dry finish.

Lacks conviction, although the flavours are bright; one less degree of alcohol and 20 g more sugar would make all the difference.

The people at Jim Barry have done a good thing. This wine has always been a little on the sweet side. Not too much, but enough to surprise if you thought you were getting a normal Clare riesling. Now they've whacked on a sticker that says, 'I'm a ...
