2003 Neethlingshof Weisser Riesling Noble Late Harvest South Africa 375ml

The 2003 Neethlingshof Weisser Riesling Noble Late Harvest from Stellenbosch is a beautifully botrytised dessert wine that has aged into a golden, honeyed delight. Here’s what you can expect from this vintage:

Nose: Rich and expressive, with aromas of dried apricot, honey, peach, and a touch of fig and caramel. The botrytis influence adds depth and a slightly earthy sweetness2.Palate: Unctuously sweet yet balanced, showcasing orange marmalade, baked apricot, and candied citrus. A vibrant apple and citrus acidity cuts through the richness, giving it freshness and lift2.Finish: Long and elegant, with lingering notes of caramel, citrus peel, and a refreshing tang that keeps it from feeling cloying.With 10.43% ABV and 158.4 g/L of residual sugar, this wine is lush but not overpowering. It pairs beautifully with strong cheeses, fig preserves, or simply enjoyed on its own as a golden sip of South African winemaking heritage
