Riesling

Nagambie Lakes, Victoria. "Riesling is a bit overlooked in the Nagambie Lakes story but at Tahbilk and Mitchelton, this central Victorian region has excellent examples. Tahbilk’s style is more traditional but quite exotic, with aromas of cinnamon and other sweet spices, citrus and white peach. Concentrated, smooth and dry, it’s not as piercing as many young Rieslings but very satisfying." Ralph Kyte-Powell The Age Epicure

 

Great Southern W.A. Almost water white in colour with the slightest hint of pale straw. The aromatics are typical of the Mt Barker region with a generous supply of lifted orange and rose blossom and some underlying grapefruit and white peach characters. These flavours are carried through onto a tightly wound palate that has a lovely lime/citrus like essence...

WINERY RATING

James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2015

Clare Valley, South Australia.  The wine has lifted varietal Riesling character with floral and citrus aromatics of grapefruit, lime and lemon. The palate is seamless with a richness of flavour built from dry ripening conditions leading into vintage. The wine retains freshness due to our trademark brisk natural acid finish...

Eden Valley, South Australia. ‘Plenty of bath powder perfume! Tim likes to keep things pretty clean I’d say, and he’s certainly got all his ducks in a row here.

Eden Valley, S.A. Definitely very drinkable now for the lovers of fresh delicate Rieslings but is picked early and built to reward the serious cellaring types...

Eden Valley, South Australia. Expect high tone aromatics of white stone fruits & lime. The real star is the palate which reveals all of the aromatics but sears with texture, weight & persistence that finishes crisp, dry & long...

Alsace, France.  Made from carrefully-selected grapes from much older vines (40+ years) from superior plots of Ribeauvillé, this Riesling 'Réserve' is a full, rich, complex wine that can also be kept longer. It shows great finesse...

Alsace, France. Riesling is with no doubt the « King of the wines of Alsace ». The wine is produced with 100 % Riesling by law and is dry fermented at "Trimbach”.
Traditionally in Alsace Riesling is produced dry with an everage of 12,5 – 13,00 per
cent alcohol. It represents roughly 3500 hectares out of 15.000 total and is a late maturing grape...
