Loveblock Marlborough Dry Riesling 2023
Trust your Taste
Honeysuckle, candied citrus peel and lemon give this Marlborough Riesling a generous fruit character. The fruit feels sweet at first, then the wine finishes dry. Try it if you enjoy aromatic whites that combine bright citrus with a rounded, flavourful middle.

The first impression is generous and fruity, with citrus and floral flavours filling the middle. The finish turns dry and fresh, with little drying grip. Sweet-fruit flavour here describes the fruit impression, rather than a promise of a sweet wine.
The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
How much presence and firmness the wine has in your mouth.

The fresh, mouth-watering edge of the wine.
Bitter, herbal or savoury character beyond the fruit.

Ripe fruit character. This is not a sugar-sweetness rating.
