Description
A beautifully crafted dessert wine from Waipara, the Tiki KORO Noble Riesling 2017 is a lusciously sweet yet perfectly balanced expression of botrytised Riesling. Pouring a striking honeyed yellow, this wine greets the senses with intense aromas of dried apricot, marmalade, raisins, and honey, lifted by a touch of aromatic volatility that adds to its complexity and allure.
On the palate, it’s rich, viscous, and layered, echoing the fruit-driven nose with flavours of apricot and honey, all held together by vibrant acidity that keeps the sweetness in check. Made from hand-selected grapes naturally affected by Botrytis cinerea (noble rot), this wine’s impressive depth and concentration are the result of careful vine drying and meticulous winemaking.
Enjoy it now or cellar it for further development. A perfect companion to cheese boards or as a decadent finish to any meal.
