Gaelic Cemetery Celtic Farm Riesling 2021

Of the three Gaelic Cemetery Rieslings this wine is the most upfront, fruit forward and early drinking style. But don’t take that to mean it will fall over in a year or two as it has the capacity to be enjoyed over the next five years. But it would be the one I’d pick right now thanks to its expressive style.

It’s your classic, punchy Clare Riesling with tangy citrus, roses lime and exotic pear fruits that make quite the first impression. What follows is an elegant palate, fruit still on the front foot but well defined by its fresh acidity and a nice little musky touch on a finish of good length. Match it up with hot Barramundi and chips for a taste sensation.
