Blank Canvas Meta Riesling 2018

Bewertungen

Cameron Douglas MS: 94/100 - Excellent - and delicious! A striking bouquet; powerful, intense and fruity. Aromas of preserved lemon and baked apple then honeyed tropical fruits suggesting baked pineapple and mango. On the palate - pure, fresh and sweet, honeyed stone-fruits then non-fruits flavours of beeswax and whipped rewarewa honey, some toasty preserved lemon layers and a whisper of saltiness. The sweetness is easily contrasted by the acidity lengthening the finish and providing a crisp, precise finish. Best drinking from today and through 2026+.

Huon Hooke (The Real Review): 96/100. Full golden colour, brilliant. The bouquet is honeyed and rich, with some marmalade and fruit compote nuances, nutty background. In the mouth, it has intense flavour and is very frisky with elevated acidity, which undercuts the substantial sweetness. A glorious wine of great drive and energy.

VINOUS - Rebecca Gibb MW: 93/100. This is a sweet Riesling (167g/L residual sugar) but it has plenty of mouthwatering acidity providing refreshment. Marmalade, orange and peach flavors meet sweet spice flavors, which linger on the lengthy finish. Drink 2020-2030.

Bob Campbell, MW: 93/100. ...the sweetness is perfectly balanced with steely acidity, which builds a little welcome tension in the wine. 'Meta' means transformation, in this case by botrytis influence. It's a rich and flavoursome wine with peach, honey, grapefruit marmalade and musk flavours. Initial sweetness contrasts with subtle steely acidity on the lengthy finish. Drink 2019 to 2024.

Michael Cooper: 5 Sterne. For sheer hedonistic pleasure, the botrytised 2018 vintage (5*) is hard to beat. Hand-picked in the Wairau Valley and fermented and aged in seasoned French oak puncheons, it is pale gold, with a highly fragrant, honeyed bouquet. Showing lovely concentration and harmony, it has rich, sweet apricot and honey flavours, good acid spine, an oily texture, and delicious vibrancy, poise and depth.

Verkostungsnotiz

Die Aromen von Zitrusschale, Orangenblütenhonig und Orangenmarmelade des Bouquets vereinen sich am Gaumen mit einer üppigen, ausgeprägten Süße, die dank einer belebenden Säure perfekt ausbalanciert bleibt.

Zusatzinformationen

Kategorie: Weißwein

Rebsorte: 100% Riesling

Passende Speisen: Ein perfekter Abschluss des Essens mit einem Blauschimmelkäse.

Weinherstellung: Der Wein wurde aus dem delikaten Vorpressaft sowie sanft gepresstem Saft erstellt. Dabei hat Matt Thomson einen Hautkontakt und die Extraktion von harten Phenolen vermieden. Der Vorpresssaft ging hauptsächlich in Edelstahltanks, um dort kalt zu fermentieren. 25% des Mosts wurde in einer Mischung aus neuen und gebrauchten offenen 600l Eichenfässern vergoren und für 8 Monate gereift. Die offenen Eichenfässern sorgen für sehr subtile Eichennoten und Gewicht im Wein.
