4 Awards/Critics’ Notes

Characterised by its racy acidity and intense citrus notes; the Tamar Ridge Riesling truly captures the crisp delicate flavours of our cool-climate vineyard sites in the Tamar Valley.
This Tasmanian Riesling nicely complements a grilled seafood platter with romesco sauce and herb crumbs.
Description
| Vineyard Region: | Tasmania |
|---|---|
| Wine Analysis: | Alc/Vol: 12.5% |
| Colour: | The 2019 Riesling is a pale straw with green hues. |
| Aroma: | On the nose, it is refreshingly aromatic with strong elements of lime juice and citrus and subtle elements of sweet perfume. |
| Palate: | The palate is concentrated with flavours of zesty lemon and fresh kaffir lime over a backbone of racy acidity that gives an insight into the staying power of this wine. |
| Peak Drinking: | Until 2029 |
Recommended food pairings: Serve with seafood such as prawns, scallops or delicate white fish and Asian inspired dishes filled with lots of fragrant lemongrass and coriander.
Growing Conditions: Estate-grown Riesling fruit from our Kayena vineyard in the Tamar Valley of Tasmania. The 2019 vintage was excellent across the board and especially for white varietals.
Winemaker: Tom Wallace
Winemaking notes: The fruit was destemmed and split before an hour soaking in the press. The juice was then run-off skins for settling. The clear, racked juice was inoculated with a selected aromatic yeast strain. Ferment was cool, slow and controlled to maximise retention of fruit flavours. It was bottled with an alcohol of 12.5%. Vegan-friendly.

Critics’ tasting notes

“Tamar Valley. A spicy and edgy riesling that captures the early rim of its ripeness spectrum, delivering kaffir lime, leaf and almost-ripe Granny Smith apple. Tense Tamar Valley acidity and firm phenolic bite conspire with a green-bean underripeness to make for an assertive finish.”
