Opihi Riesling 2009
A delicate style, elegant, well-fruited and just off dry with a hint of sweetness to balance the wine. The fragrance is very refreshing, a Riesling enjoyable with snacks and antipasto and unfolding nicely to suit grilled or barbecued fish and freshly roasted golden chicken perfectly. Young, showing its class and a delicious regional statement.

along with a taut acidity. Went down well with the consumers.
