Rheingau Riesling
Rheingau, Germany
An imposter! If not for my ability to read labels, I would have never placed this in Germany. From the petrol notes that's pervasive in Australian rieslings, to the modern label and stelvin screwcap typical in the land down under, I could have easily called this a Clare Valley off-dry riesling with a little age if blinded. Apple, lime, florals, and petrol on the nose. The sugar acid balance does give it a more "Germanic" feel (Kabinett?), but that's not uncommon in Australia these days (John Hughes' Rieslingfreak No.5 comes to mind). Fruity and generous on the palate, with riper fruits, honeyed notes, and mineral undertones. Enjoyable. An imposter for sure, but a welcomed one.

Absolutely crisp, medium
Dry with terrific fruit, bright acidity, hints of minerality. Tremendous value at @ $12.99.

A bit similar to Muscat d'Alexandria om the nose, very floral and intensely parfumed with complex layers of stone, green and citrus fruit. Crisp acidity and a large amount of RS in a very pleasing way.
