Miguel Torres, Nectaria Botrytis Riesling, 2010

Torres' Chilean winery has produced a lovely, light alternative to German Beerenauslese. It has a voluptuous character, with aromas of orange, stone fruit, honey and white flowers. There are some nutty hints on the palate, with plenty of juicy orange, mandarin and peach, with honey and floral notes. The lime juice acidity on the finish refreshes and cleanses the palate; this isn't at all cloying, but it lacks the concentration of Beerenauslese, Sauternes or Tokaji.
