These New Zealand rieslings are classy, dry and underpriced.
Why is riesling not more popular in New Zealand? Diametrically opposed in style to chardonnay, it is perfumed and steely. After a few years in the cellar, top bottlings unfurl into a magical mouthful.
I joined a group of wine professionals to blind taste (labels concealed) six of this country’s rieslings, alongside six highly regarded rieslings from France, Austria, Germany and Australia. All the wines are marketed as dry in style, rather than medium-dry, medium or sweet.
Overall, the local wines tied in quality with those from overseas, at least on my scoresheet. However, the panel of 10 generally preferred the New Zealand wines by a small but significant margin.
