Moya Meaker W.O. Elgin Riesling 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Elgin
R300
'A cooler, south-facing block on shale soils at 325 metres supplies the raw material for this taut, pithy Elgin Riesling. Concrete fermented and aged, it has 7.3 grams of residual sugar, plenty of balancing acidity, lime and elderflower fruit flavours and a chiselled finish. 2025-32' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 93/100
‘Fermented and matured in concrete. Enchanting aromatics of pear, peach, lime, green apple, white pepper and spice with just a touch of reduction in the background. The palate shows good clarity – clean, sweet fruit playing off against punchy acidity, the finish super-dry.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 92/100
'This classically styled cool-climate Riesling offers a tidy vanguard of green apple, chalk dust, and a burst of white star jasmine. The palate carries stone fruit and Seville orange, neatly sewn up by a supremely lengthy crystalline seam of fresh lime, white grapefruit pith, and tart green apple acidity.' – Winemaker
