This is one of three 2006 Rieslings from this producer based in Pemberton, Western Australia, the others being a Dry and an Auslese version. This sits in between the other two versions, very much in the off-dry style.
A clean, perfumed nose of musk, floral notes, stonefruit and citrus. Very good balance between some slightly tangy acid and the sweetness from some residual sugar on the palate. Good length, and very easy and enjoyable to drink. I think this is going to be best drunk now and over the next couple of years. A bargain at $15 AUD, I’m very keen to try the other two now.
Score: 90/100 Drink: 2007-2009
