Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Riesling 2024 

The fruit for this wine comes from the Three Wishes Vineyard, along with grower fruit from Relbia at the opposite end of the Tamar Valley. This is a fresh, bright expression of Tamar Riesling with excellent balance – particularly impressive given the high Tasmanian acidity, gently tempered by just 2.5 grams of residual sugar. Talc, lime pith, red apple, and pear lead the way, followed by citrus blossom, bath salts, and a lovely mineral thread. It’s pretty and pure, with a generous aromatic lift. The palate is bright and lifted, showing a crunchy, subtly chalky texture – lemon in water, lime skin, talc, orange blossom, and green apple all circling a mineral core. A tensile line of pithy acidity draws it through to a clean, persistent finish.
