2024 Shaw & Smith Riesling

Cool and wet conditions during flowering reduced yields but resulted in high acidity and concentrated flavors. Later ripening varieties, like Riesling, thrived during the dry end of the season, making it one of the best years for this varietal. Sourced from high, cool sites in Lenswood and Mt Torrens, the hand-picked fruit is gently pressed, with some juice spending time on skins before fermenting in stainless steel to preserve purity and balance. The 2024 Riesling showcases delicate florals and vibrant flavors of orange blossom, lime cordial, and pear, balanced by mouthwatering acidity and depth.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews....
Fresh and vibrant aromas of orange blossoms, jasmine flowers, lime zest and river stones. The palate is medium-bodied with focused acidity and a generous mouthfeel, giving notes of lemon balm, grapefruit pith, flint and mandarin pith. Its 4 g/L of residual sugar add a nice balance and texture. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
