Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Riesling 2025

Tightly wound on opening, showing linear, high-toned notes of lemon balm, lemon sherbet and lime leaf. A good swirl of the glass reveals sweet pops of citrus blossom and wet stone minerality. The palate is similarly febrile and coiled, though a nice even and supple texture helps flesh it out. Lemon juice, kaffir lime, wet stone, lemon sherbet and lemon balm again. It glides through the mouth before firm structure wraps around the fruit like a corset — grippy phenolics and racy citrus-laden acidity to good length. Incredibly fresh and bright with thirst-slaking appeal, and a racy core of fruit that will flesh out nicely over five to ten years in the cellar.
