Drop Zone Riesling 2022

Drop Zone target parcels of quality grapes to make their wines. This cracking Riesling is from a single vineyard in the famed Clare Valley. It is worth noting at the outset that this is clearly made with the intention of being a drink now style, but Riesling cannot go against its nature. Sure, enjoy it today, but it will also age nicely for another 6 to 8 years. What strikes you immediately is the gorgeous perfumes emanating from the glass as soon as the wine is poured. Like a summer breeze wafting across a lavender field. Spices, a hint of bath salts and a touch of citrus, notably a gentle grapefruit note. It is, what we might deem, a pretty wine. The palate is clean and fresh and there is some richness evident before finishing with mid length. Thoroughly enjoyable drinking.
