I think they&#8217;re neglected. The truth is, as a group they encompass some of the most exciting and complex of all wines. Often, they&#8217;re fantastic bargains, even if they are rarely cheap. There are many different styles of sweet wine, and I&#8217;m starting with a rather unsual sweet Riesling from New Zealand. Grapes were late-harvested, with a large portion of the fruit shrivelled and raisined by natural dehydration. Slightly naughtily, the grapes were then frozen and pressed to yield a concentrated juice. It&#8217;s a bit like an artificial ice-wine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seifried Sweet Agnes Riesling 2008 Nelson, New Zealand<\/strong><br \/>\n10% alcohol. Intense, powerful, sweet and citrussy with lively spicy richness and apricot and peach fruit. Complex, viscous and intense with high acidity countering the sweetness, as well as some notes of pear and apple. Precise and spicy, with amazing intensity, almost like an ice wine in terms of the depth of flavour. 93\/100 (\u00a314.99 Waitrose, Laithwaites, \u00a319.99 Naked Wines)<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m starting a series on sweet wines.
