Forrest Estate Botrytised Riesling 2019 375ml

The Forrest Estate Botrytised Riesling 2019 is a stunning example of a dessert wine with perfect balance and complexity. The wine shines with a glorious golden hue and exudes aromas of orange marmalade, apricot, and toffee, drawing you in with its sweet, opulent profile. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with concentrated flavors of ripe stone fruit and a hint of honeyed sweetness, balanced by vibrant acidity that keeps the wine fresh and lively. The finish is clean and lingering, making this wine a true expression of perfection.

Crafted from three carefully selected vineyards in the Wairau Valley, this Botrytised Riesling benefits from the region's varied soils, with younger, stony gravels providing citrus freshness and older, clay-rich soils contributing to rich stone fruit flavors and a luxurious mouthfeel. With a 93-point rating from Cameron Douglas MS, it’s a wine that will delight immediately, but it also has the potential to age beautifully. Ideal with rich desserts, soft cheeses, or enjoyed on its own, this Riesling is a perfect way to elevate any occasion.
