Bob Campbell MW awarded 5 Stars to our Blackenbrook Riesling 2008 and rated it as one of the Top 12 New Zealand Rieslings in the current issue of Gourmet Traveller Wine.
“Blackenbrook is Nelson’s most rapidly ascending star. The warm 2008 vintage produced the earliest harvest ever from Blackenbrook’s riesling vineyard. Grapes were hand-picked and sorted before being whole-bunch pressed and fermented in stainless steel. The fermentation was stopped to retain 10 grams per litre of residual sugar. intense and vibrant with strong lime/citrus and mineral flavours, great purity and fine acidity. Made in a medium-dry style, the wine achieves real tension between acidity and sweetness.”
We are thrilled to see our Riesling up there with the likes of Felton Road, Pegasus Bay Aria, Spy Valley’s Envoy, Fromm, Amisfield and Mount Difficulty!
… another living proof of Nelson’s ability to produce outstanding Aromatics!
