Bargain Wine: John Forrest Collection Riesling 2005 Marlborough

This is the first true bargain for a while. Wine prices have been rising and therefore there has been less truly great bargains on the market. I hope this one suits you.

Made by one of Marlborough’s best aromatic producers. This wine normally retails for over $50 and is now available for under $19. Made from grapes grown on the Wairau Valley, only the best quality grapes get made into ‘Collection’ wines.

Made in an off-dry style, sure it’s not going to suit everyone, but those whose try it will be impressed. With the wine being closed under screwcap, it’s as fresh as a daisy, with pure citrus fruit, a dash of stone fruit, and voluptuous sweetness and racy acid.

Drink now or cellar for the next ten years.

Don’t trust me, Bob Campbell gave it 93/100 Points.

UnScrewed has reinvented the concept of wine tasting in New Zealand and along the way found a new and willing audience. In addition to encouraging straightforward wine tasting, Jayson educates viewers about the effects of regional factors (soil, sun, wind) on wine flavours, and how to buy wine.
