Byrne Vineyards Criminal Minds Riesling 2025

Share

Picked early, picked on point, retaining zippy acidity throughout which acts as the perfect backdrop for this attractive young Riesling. Aromas of dusty lemons, grapefruit, green apple and lemon sorbet. A trail of spice roams the palate amid the citrus, apple and gentle musk florals and a rounded, mid-palate texture brings not just good drinking now, but opens up a multitude of food matching options.
