The problem for Tasmanian Riesling is that the Island does other grapes and styles so well, and other regions do Riesling so beautifully, that when a superb example of Tassie Riesling comes along, it can very easily slip through the cracks. Don’t let that happen with this delightful example. This is a Riesling not lacking in flavour. We have intense citrus notes, lemon and grapefruit, with hints of ginger and riverstones. An appealing, finely crafted texture which is both supple and seamless. There is bright acidity as well as terrific focus plus a long, lingering finish. Enjoy over the next six to ten years.
Ken was born and bred in Brisbane, Queensland. He had a non-trendy, perfectly happy childhood, in a family convinced alcohol meant instant condemnation to Hades. But a break fishing on the Great Barrier Reef, and some good wine, started a serious obsession that eventually took over. It did not stop Ken being chastised later for drinking Pol champagne, disgusted he’d drink anything made by a Cambodian dictator. Now, Ken mostly writes on wine, champagne and spirits for various newspapers, magazines and books, but is perhaps best known for his work in The Courier Mail. He also has a little sideline writing on cigars, fishing, travel and food. When not writing, fly-fishing for trout in NZ or bonefish on the flats of Cuba, travelling or smoking cigars, he is no doubt following a variety of sporting teams – the occasionally glorious Queensland Reds rugby, the dysfunctional Washington Redskins, the dodgy Arsenal and especially revels in the world restored to its proper axis with the return of the Ashes to their rightful home.
