Peter Dredge! Best value riesling recently. That finish persists even against spicy asian food. Flinty, lemon, lime, chalk, apples. RS balances the searing acidity. Undeniably Oz.
Note: Picking was on spec, I would have liked to have held a little longer but lost my nerve early April and took it before some forecasted rain. Whole bunch pressed oxidatively, 85% of the racked juice was fermented naturally in stainless steel with temperature control for purity, the balance in an old French oak barrique for a hot natural ferment textural hit.
