Nederburg The Winemasters Reserve Western Cape Riesling 2012 89 Points
A huge step on previous vintages (2011, 2010) this is one of the best value vs quality ratio of Riesling, showing bright pale straw with green reflections.
Clean, moderate plus intensity,cool profile, good typicity with lemony, floral, grape musk, quite Germanic, hints of sandy minerals.
Dry with residual sugar, medium plus acidity, bright and lively, vibrant, zesty, crunchy profile, good energy here, more Pfalz than Mosel in profile, texture mid palate, precise, excellent purity of fruit, a must try, now until 2021.
