Allan Scott Marlborough Riesling 2024

Trust your Taste

Pineapple, lime and nectarine are lifted by honeysuckle in this Marlborough Riesling. Crisp acidity and a mineral edge keep the long finish refreshing. Try it if you enjoy fragrant whites with juicy fruit and a lively citrus line.

Restrained weight, little grip and crisp aromatic freshness favour Sensitive palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.

This suits you if you enjoy fragrant Riesling with juicy fruit and crisp freshness.

It may not suit you if you prefer very soft acidity or a rich, buttery white.

How this wine feels

Juicy fruit gives the middle some flavour, then a crisp fresh edge carries the finish. It feels more lifted than creamy, with little tannin-like grip. Choose it if you enjoy aromatic detail and a mouth-watering finish.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
