Castle Rock Estate Riesling 2022

Riesling from Castle Rock has consistently been top drawer since the earliest of these were released in the 80s. This is still quite tight but the deep fruit intensity is evident while the palate displays that spicy minerality of the region. Shows classic riesling tension through the palate to a bracing finish.
