The Canberra wine growing region is perfectly suited to a variety such as Riesling. Cool temperatures provide a slow ripening period allowing full flavour development whilst maintaining the acid levels this wine requires.
The colour of this wine is almost clear showing just the faintest hint of straw with a youthful green tinge.
The aromas leap from the glass with great intensity. Classic Riesling characters of fresh florals, lime, white peach and lychee are further enhanced by the mineral aroma of wet river stones.
The palate is well balanced by the zinging acidity giving great length and the rich mouth feel of some residual sugar providing some richness to the palate. By no means sweet the crisp acidity of citrus fruits give this wine a clean, long finish.
Cellaring:
Riesling, like Semillon, is a white that can tolerate some bottle age. This wine in particular is made to be enjoyed at it’s youthful best but some short to mid term cellaring will bring some interesting development. 3-5 years.
Drinking Recommendations:
Again like Semillon, Riesling is the perfect accompaniment to seafood. Our suggestion would be Baked Snapper with Snow Pea Salad and a Lime dressing.
