For any newer drinkers following along, five years old is not ‘old’ for a Great Southern Riesling. It is a grape variety that ages gracefully when made well. This is a great example of a Riesling beginning to show bottle-age characters while still holding strongly onto its youthfulness. In its current era, it tastes of honeycomb, lemon balm and hazelnuts. In the mouth, the acid is linear and firm, with a pithy texture that adds some muscle.
