Robert Stein Half Dry Riesling 2021

While most of the fruit for the Robert Stein wines hail from Mudgee, for this wine they have set their sights further afield – a vineyard at Orange which is at an elevation of just over 600 metres, around the same as their Mudgee vineyards. A cool, slow fermentation which was stopped with the wine at 15 grams of residual sugar. The wine then spent a further four months in tank, occasionally stirred for complexity and texture. A lovely pale straw colour and the nose offers soft and gentle citrus notes plus hints of spice. A delightfully cleansing style, the sweetness is certainly apparent but quite minimal. Very good length and I suspect that this will age extremely well as there is lots to like here.
