Lord Neethling Weisser Riesling Noble Late Harvest 2006

Colour: Bright yellow gold.
Bouquet: A typical botrytis nose with loads of dried apricot, honey and peach.
Taste: Delightful tangerine peel, orange marmalade, honey while botrytis further concentrate flavours. Great acidity tempers sweetness, accenting its fruit giving it a refreshing and vibrant edge.

Enjoy on its own or with strong cheeses, fig preserve and nuts.
