Meadowbank Riesling 2023
$39.00Aromatic and open with Gardenia, lemon, saltbush, dried oregano, grapefruit, pawpaw and green mango. Rich and almost full bodied, indeed I’m not sure we’ve ever had a Tasmanian Riesling with such dimensions and depth as this. For all its size and opulent shape, it’s very focused and structured, the richness of fruit tensioned by minerals, […]

Bubb and Pooley Riesling 2022
$45.00Made in a feinherb style, well almost, as the sugar is barely noticeable due to the very high level of acidity. Lemons, limes, grapefruit green apple and salt. The citrus is of fresh juice, preserve and zest and as such, is quite linear in style. Mouthwatering and bracing, it will be fascinating to see how […]

Rieslingfreak No 4 Eden Valley Riesling 2023
$25.00Classic Eden Valley dried wildflower aromas, pot-pourri, not as dry as the Polish but close. There is high, rapier-like acidity but it avoids tartness. Very lively but soft and with generous fruit, which gives it remarkable approachability—the most up-front of this maker’s ’23s—although it’s obviously going to age well. (A blend of Eden Valley vineyards. […]
