Wynns Coonawarra Estate
Coonawarra Riesling
Coonawarra, Limestone Coast, South Australia, Australia
Good commercial Riesling and eminently quaffable now made without the searing acidity one often gets with young Dry Riesling. Clean Citrus flavours with a more fruit driven softer palate made for more immediate consumption but could cellar for 5 years. First tried this when the Downs Club in Toowoomba was honoured to host Wynns Chief Winemaker, Sue Hodder, one of Australia’s most celebrated winemakers. I was monopolising her time predinner as I often do - and then thought I should introduce her around to the guests. One lady said to Sue “Have you tried the Riesling it’s great”. Sue said Yes - I made It. Trying to be humble and not embarrass the poor woman. Had to be there. Their top red the John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon was incredible. 2015. Probably the best she has ever made Sue said.

Sep 8th, 2018Our first wine from the Wynns dinner with chief Wine maker Sue Hodder. This is a very approachable young yet soft Riesling aimed at early consumption. A fuller fruity palate with light acid. I could happily drink this now. Short term cellaring.

Jul 13th, 2018Great value for money. A charming Riesling with strong citric tones of lemon sherbet and hints of apple on the nose. Had it with a squid stir fry with spinach, paired wonderfully except for the chilli in the stir fry. Good drinking now but should age well

Minerality on nose, clean mid Palet but lacking in fruit intensity
