Mt Difficulty makes NZ's Top 20

“Selecting my top 20 New Zealand wineries, with a wine from each, proved a fascinating assignment…

Mt Difficulty is best known for its wonderfully intense, vibrant single-vineyard Pinot Noirs produced from vineyards planted at Bannockburn in the tailings of ancient gold mines.  While they are undeniably good, I’m a long and ardent fan of Target Gully Riesling.  Every vintage of this wine is a winner.

Mt Difficulty Target Gully Riesling 2008

Five stars – 18.5 points

Beautiful mineral and aromatic lime flavours with such finesse they tickle the palate with a seductive lightness.  The wine defines flavour purity.  A truly classic New Zealand Riesling that would raise the eyebrows of many Mosel winemakers.  Now – 2014.”
