Freycinet Riesling 2024

“A taut, high-tensile East Coast riesling that’s all velocity and lip-smackingly pure lime and lemon fruits with hints of sea spray, crushed stone, lemongrass, grapefruit pith, citrus blossom and thirst-slaking good times. It’s got a wicked minerally cadence as it cuts across the palate; a touch of clover blossom in there, too, if we’re getting picky. But we’re not getting picky and this is just a delicious, focused Tassie riesling.”  96 Points & Special Value Wine Dave Brookes for Halliday’s Wine Companion

The Tasmanian climate is ideal for producing fine elegant Rieslings with beautiful varietal definition. The aroma of fresh flowers with a hint of lime leap out of the glass. The elegant palate reveals rippling, juicy citrus flavours reminiscent of ripe lemons and limes combining with a crisp long taut after-taste.

While excellent drinking as a young wine it will develop slowly and beautifully over a 10 to 20 year period in good cellars at a constant cool temperature. With ageing, the wine takes up a more golden colour and develops gorgeous secondary characters of honey and toast.
