| ‘Muddy Water now makes three outstanding Rieslings-a feat that arguably makes it the country’s number one producer..’ Gourmet Traveller Wine Top 12 NZ Riesling April/May ‘08 2007 James Hardwick Riesling Intense, medium-dry Riesling with strong apple and lime flavours. Subtle sweetness is perfectly balanced by fine, juicy acidity. The finish lasts forever. An ethereal texture completes the picture. 95 pts/5 stars Gourmet Traveller Wine Top 100 New Releases Dec/Jan ‘08 2006 Unplugged Riesling Rated No1 New Zealand Riesling 96 pts/5 stars A superbly luscious wine that has achieved its remarkable array of honey, tropical and tree fruit flavours with the help of bunches selectively harvested to optimise botrytis. Grapes are picked with high sugar levels and fermented to produce a relatively high alcohol level of 12 per cent. Not a full-blown sticky, this is great as an aperitif and has the potential to age well.
