Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Powdery and soft white blossoms on the nose with pronounced peach, apricot and a citrus seam on the palate. Aromatic and tropical with generous stone fruit. Very versatile. Pair with scallops or seafood. Tasted Dec 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com
Linda Mertes WSET 2 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A fruity and floral Riesling from Marlborough, New Zealand that presents medium lemon in the glass with lime and apple aromas. A light wine at 9%, the acidity and fruity sweetness are well balanced. For sipping on its own, serving with soft, ripe cheese appetizers or lightly herbed poultry or pork.
The Doctors' 2018 is a medium-bodied, juicy and vibrant Riesling from Marlborough, South Island. Look for lime zest, ripe red apple, soft orange and white floral aromas and flavours on the palate. Off-dry with mouth-watering acidity and only 9% abv. Lovely. pair with grilled Korean ribs and mild vegetarian curries. - Community Wine Reviews
