Riesling 2009
assessment
Colour: Pale
straw with green hues.
Bouquet: This wine shows strong citrus notes of limes and lemons. There is some delicate floral and orange blossom characters in the background.
Palate: A tight crisp and linear palate which is dominated by the lemon and lime citrus characters. The natural acidity provides the wonderful line and focus, yet is in perfect harmony and balance with the wine. There wine also shows minerality and slatey characters which are often associated with great Rieslings. The wine is tight and restrained with an attractive delicacy now, yet will blossom with age.
food accompaniment
Ideal aperitif wine, will also accompany fish and
delicate crustacean and mild Asian dishes.
cellaring potential
Excellent ageing potential. It will show lively
citrus characters for first 18 months. It will slowly develop attractive,
bottle aged, toasty characters. It will remain fresh, vibrant and lovely
drink for up to 15 years.
