Byron & Harold Rose & Thorns Riesling 2022

The Great Southern region in Western Australia continues to provide us with fine, if ‘alternative’, Rieslings. Very pale yellow, there are appealing citrus and minerally notes here with a slight soapstone, fresh lemon characters. Structurally, it is a little broader than some of the Rieslings which originate a little more to the east, but it is none the worse for that. The wine lifts on the palate, exhibiting fine balance and more focus with excellent length. Fine with juicy acidity, it should drink very well over the next five to six years.
