Hailing from the ancient granite soils of one of Australia’s most striking regions, this Riesling is a weapon of a wine – and reminiscent of the huge rocks that surround the region. My nose thanks Thunderstone for making it. Tangerine, lemongrass, kaffir lime, Preserved lemon rind, wet concrete and lime pith. In the mouth, it’s savoury and chalky. A more textural style of Riesling than many of its Porongurup counterparts. The acid is puckering, yet resolved, and carries a salty edge to it. A solid release from what was seen as a more challenging vintage.
