Sidney Wilcox Riesling | Riverland, Australia

£15.50

Light in body, bold in flavour and made specifically to pair with food, this Riesling is opulent in style and seamlessly balanced for fine dining.

Although Riesling is usually a safe ageing proposition, this example from the warm Riverland region, has the opulent fruit ripeness to also be drinking well in its youth.

Fragrant lemon blossom and lime zest greet the senses, accompanied by the inviting aroma of fresh citrus fruits. Layers of mixed citrus fruits unfold on the palate, complemented by the freshness of grapes, creating a harmonious symphony of flavours. The moderate acidity is refreshing, cleansing the palate with each sip. The wine is light-bodied yet structured and self-supported with depth, leaving a lasting impression with the lively citrus notes and minerality.
