2023 Meadowbank Riesling

The 2023 Meadowbank Riesling is made from a mix of an estate block, planted in 1974, and a newer block of German Riesling clones. The cool climate here in the sheltered valley produces exceptional fruit. Winemaker Peter Dredge splits the fermentation between stainless steel tanks for freshness and old French oak barrels for added complexity and texture. The result is a wine where high acidity and a touch of residual sugar come together in perfect harmony, creating a captivating and delicious wine.
Alc. 11.5%

Other Reviews....
The beautiful Meadowbank on the upper Derwent River is primarily a grape grower, with 52ha of vines employed in various ways since 1976; only enough for 800 dozen directed to wines contract-made by Peter Dredge. It's such a ravishing wine, as rich and deep as it is pure and fine. Redefines citrus. Drink 2024 - 2043.

There’s a distinct Germanic character about this wine, though of course it’s also very Tasmanian too.
Juicy stone fruit, honey and white flowers, lemon curd, lime, a little spice, and a subtle mineral/petrol note. It’s intense and flavoursome, really bursts through the mouth, green apple mouth-watering acidity, wonderful chalky grip to texture, and a kiss of sweetness on a very long and zingy finish. Is that some ginger in the mix too? It’s all the things, and also, it tastes very pure. Top shelf, though comes with the caveat that you have to like them on the more piercing side. Drink 2024 - 2033+
