Great Western Riesling

Year in year out one of the most reliable and gluggable rieslings in this part of the world. Good now. Will be even better in 5+ years. Slurp!!

Aromas of talc, honeysuckle, lime and kaffir leaf (should go well with a curry). No Kero. Palate is almost off dry - lime, under ripe peach, touch of pear, low acid - drinking beautifully. Amazing value for $26. Had another bottle on the 4th May 2023 with consistent notes - off dry with a ripe mandarin note detected, low acid. Another bottle on 8th December. TDN petro chemical aromas starting to develop. Almost an off dry style with a touch of residual sweetness. Still enough cleansing citric acid to prevent things becoming blowsy.

Peaches, honey crisp apple, and apricots on the nose with a hint of caramel. The peaches linger on the palate with a dash of the apple. Crisp acid leaves it very refreshing.

Jun 20th, 2020Lovely stuff. Bristling lemon like a Calippo with a bone dry finish. Great acid and minerality. Awesome at this price point.
