2023 RIKARD Riesling
RRP: $35.00
Our 2023 RIKARD Riesling shows fruit driven and floral characters in the lime and citrus blossom spectrum. Dry, precise and pretty in youth, age worthy and complex underneath. Purity of acid and freshness is important, as is youthful drinkability.
Colour – Pale with yellow and green hues
Nose – An upfront hit of citrus, more in the cumquat and lime spectrum. Lime marmalade. There’s a myriad of fruit characters popping their head up – custard apple, golden kiwi and pears amongst them. A hint of dry hay, nettles and ginger
Palate – A spike of fresh acidity underlines the whole palate, tingling and lively. It’s overlaid with a generous, textural, mealy mid-palate. Some alcohol warmth and plenty of fruit weight carries on well into the back palate. Structure is prominent with pithy tannins holding the wine together and no doubt preserving it for many years to come. Lovely balance.
