Van Loveren Christina Van Loveren Robertson Riesling Noble Late Harvest

Dark straw with yellow rim, almost a vin de paille kind of color.

Clean, high intensity, not much botrytis character, dried apricot, tamarind, honey, treacle, molasses with hints of demerara sugar, lots of raisin, subtle oaking.

Sweet, rich yet have a pin point acidity (which is high) to balance and lift the creamy / concentrated profile, fresh, no sign of oxidation after being opened for a week!

A style on it's own, somewhere between a natural sweet and a vin de paille, but very well made.
