Bay of Fires
Tasmania Riesling
Tasmania, Australia
See previous notes from 21 weeks ago. Pale yellow in colour. The acidity from that note has diminished. Aromas of Lime and Lemon zest with a hint of Kero. White florals. A light to medium weight palate. Mainly citrus notes with a little under ripe stone fruit developing. As clean as a whistle with medium minus acid. The palate had filled out the following day. In Tasmania Pinot Noir and Chardonnay get all the accolades but don’t forget about the excellent Riesling.

Jul 10th, 2021White florals, citrus aromas, flinty minerality. On the palate a hint of Germanic off dry sweetness - still mouth puckering acidity. Needs more time. See previous Delectable notes.

Feb 11th, 2021An off dry style from Bay of Fires. A whiff of kero and peach strangely enough for the latter. Clean with moderate acid. Moreish. Tasmania really producing some lovely Rieslings these days.

Nov 19th, 2018Award winning Riesling at the recent Tasmanian Wine Show. Hot off the press the 2015 Riesling is very floral - cut flowers and very ripe giving a hint of peach. Bright and clean with an acid cut finish. Very Good.

Lovely bouquet with sharp mineral flavours and lemon zest flavours. Very nice with Lemon Sole Meunière.
