Howard Park Great Southern Riesling 2023

A flinty gunpowder note jumps out of the glass at the first sniff. Then, it’s time for salted pink grapefruit, freshly squeezed lime, and pineapple slices. Before I even tasted it, I could already sense a coolness and saltiness in this Great Southern Riesling. Highly tight and citrusy, mandarins, lime, lemons, grapefruits. My daily vitamin C boost, please, and thanks. A narrow, yet clean, finish of the palate. Still a young puppy with a promising future.
