2012 Patina Riesling

PatinaRiesling__01251_1349667285_1280_1280A bit of sweetness (8g/l) in this effort from Patina but it handles it well. Not so much a case of tension, just some softening of the palate. I’d imagine it will attract quite a few consumers.

Zest, flowers, sherbet, citrus and pear. Has a suggestion of orange juice strangely enough and it doesn’t detract. Lacks detail on the palate but there’s a decent line of acid and enough length. Not so sure about the price. 89 Good
