2012 vintage - not what I was expecting - much more evolved with dampened fruit characters and a surprising amount of 'kero' already - having said that, it went very well with a mild curry

Scallops and Riesling? Hell yes 🙌🙌
October 2019 is the month for Robert Oatley 2017 Great Southern Riesling and Chef Rick Houston’s Rottnest Island Scallops with cauliflower purée and nduja vinaigrette as part of the Wine Selectors Chef & The Cellar 2019 Calendar case 🤤
Jeeze how good does that pairing sound? You can find out more about this awesome Christmas gift on the blog -> https://travellingcorkscrew.com.au/blog/christmas-gifts-for-wine-lovers-2018/
I love my GS Riesling and this one went down with extreme ease. In the glass it’s a pale water white shade with a hint of lime. Crisp apples, pears and a pretty floral perfume rise from the glass. Actually I’d love a real perfume that smells like this! In the mouth juicy green apples, minerality and refreshing lime zest zip across the taste buds 👌
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #winesample #tcweekdaywine

Not a lot of nose. Very crisp. Minerals. Lime.

Mar 28th, 2021An indistinct collection of flavours. Flat, unsweetened lemonade. Bitter, pithy finish. Not much on the nose (although I am using a shitty, small glass). It’s really pretty average. I hoped for much more. EDIT: Found a better glass and it’s much improved, even after a couple of days open. Some apple and lemon notes, with wet stone minerality. Still a pithy finish, but less sour.

Jul 14th, 2018The palate is a let down from the full nose this wine gives off but still good, and distinctively Riesling. Look out for the rubber/petrol scent.

This Riesling drinks like a thinner, fruitier Chardonnay. It has a really nice nose: lots of fruits and flowers. You'll get acid, pear and a little bit of honey on the tongue.
