Two Paddocks Riesling 2023

Balanced and well-rounded wine with a rich, layered profile, presenting the best of New Zealand's Pinot Noir tradition. The nose is outlined by a unified integration of stone, honey, and blossom, giving way to a juicy and crisp palate with ripe apple, subtle petrol, and a crisp, bright acidity. The aftertaste is long and satisfying, with a light minerality that adds substance and nuance. A well-crafted wine with a dry and elegant style, making it an excellent bargain for the price.

Crisp and lean wine with a light golden appearance and a nose that reveals a refined integration of fruit, acidity, and nuanced nuances of honey and a zingy bread-like yeastiness. As it unfolds, the flavors become more complex, with a comforting minerality and a touch of citrus that lasts on the palate. The finish is long and satisfying, with a dry and off-dry character that will leave you wanting more.

BB8's assessment of the 2012 Gosset Riesling was a resounding success, with a score of 4⭐️. The wine's sophisticated nose, featuring ripe fruit and petrol notes, was a testament to its Australian origins. The palate, whereas slightly acidic, was a fitting reflection of the wine's German and Alsace influences.
