(New Zealand) Real purity and focus on the nose - ripe fruit and delicate beeswax notes. Surprisingly rich and sweet on the palate with a lovely mouthfilling taste and a fresh acidity on the finish. It lingers on the palate. Alc: 11.5%.

The 2006 Riesling has more clarity than the 2005 Clearwater, touches of cut grass and apple blossom. The palate displays good balance with hints of apricot and orange zest, with a little manuka honey decorating the finish that has good length.Located in Waipara, Canterbury, Sherwood Estate is owned by Dayne and Jill Sherwood, farming four vineyards in the locality and another four in Marlborough. “Clearwater” represents their premium, single vineyard range of winesImporter: Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel.
