Mission Hawke’s Bay Riesling (2012)

The 2011 (3.5*) is a lemon-scented, medium-dry style (14 grams/litre of residual sugar), fresh, lively, grapey and finely balanced. The 2012 vintage (3*) is slightly sweeter (23 grams/litre of residual sugar). Light (only 9.5 per cent alcohol) and tangy, with fresh, lemony, appley, slightly spicy flavours, it’s enjoyable young.
