Parish Vineyard Sorell Riesling 2024

Tassie Riesling can suffer from the same malady as that from New Zealand, a little too much fierce acidity. Fortunately, this wine is neatly balanced, so much so that it does not even need a makeover with any residual sweetness. From the Sorell district in Tasmania, not that far from Coal River, the colour is a very pale lemon with aromas of limes, florals, spices, wet slate, a broader range of citrus and an appealing note that pops up very occasionally in wines like this which reminds me of nothing so much as an Iced VoVo biscuit. The wine is well focused with good energy and likely to improve further over the next six to eight years.
