Beautifully captures the lifted scent, citrus intensity and energy that is Tassie Riesling. Delicate aromas abide in citrus blossom, wildflowers, green apple, grapefruit. Vibrant, natural lemony acidity drives the palate in tandem with citrus, apple, and a grapefruit pithy texture. But it’s still very much a Riesling in early development and in keeping with the Riversdale Riesling style, or, at least, the previous release, means further bottle ageing will be of benefit.
