Leeuwin- Riesling

Tasting Notes:
2023 Riesling,  “Art Series”, Margaret River, Western Australia

Delicately textured, yet equally exuberant, limes and zesty lemons feature at the forefront of the palate. There is minerality and brine-like structure providing elegance and finesse, leading to a finely boned acid frame with a talc like finish.

An energetic and vibrant nose, nestled within a fruit spectrum bursting with Tahitian lime, Lisbon lemon and a hint of green apple. The aromatics of fennel seed, Thai basil, and lime leaf add an extra and intriguing layer of complexity.

“Leeuwin Estate Riesling, I feel, is much improved of the past few years, and the wines are brighter with notably better texture. This has perfume lime and lemon, lemongrass, mint and a little spice. It’s juicy and bright, all citrus and green apple, and the texture is gently chalky, offering a finish of excellent length with a lime and tonic aftertaste. Lots of crunch and interest. It’s very good.”
