Main Divide Riesling

Name:	Main Divide Riesling (845)
Variety:	Riesling (14)
Producer:	Main Divide
Region:	North Canterbury
I tasted the 2015 vintage of this wine on 26 Apr 2019 when it was 4 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was medium-strong yellow gold. The bouquet had stone fruit, honey and light spice. There was full fruit and spice, honey sweetness, and a medium citrus acid finish. This wine had quite sweet and fruity, with light acid balance, but maybe a bit old.
I tasted the 2023 vintage of this wine on 24 Aug 2024 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was bright, medium clear greenish gold. The bouquet had strong fruit and citrus lime. There was strong fruit and honey sweetness, and a medium crisp citrus acid finish.

Average (3.5):

Note 1: I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these wines, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
