Castle Rock RS21 Riesling 2024

The name refers to the level of natural residual sweetness which Rob has left in the wine, balancing it with the vibrant acidity. Don’t be concerned that you will find yourself with something too sweet, it is barely an off-dry style, but it will be a great wine for a wide range of dishes. Pale lemon in colour, the nose offers florals, with frangipanis coming to mind, spices, passionfruit hints and an appealing riverstone backing. That very gentle sweetness runs the length, but is so well balanced, that the impression is of a wine of freshness and expression. This is a top example of this style and should continue to drink enticingly for at least the next six to ten years.
