This has an almost steel like quality to it, that characterises many Western Victorian Rieslings. You see it in Belinda Thompson’s Rieslings too. Skin contact for stability but also revealing these lemon / citrus blossom and green apple aromas. Mouth tingling with acid, full of character but balance. A foolproof example of Australian Riesling. Australia has so many wonderful, world class wine makers. It’s truly astonishing. Here is a classic. A true example of sustainable production with classic palate in mind. Jennifer and John Nagorcka started out in 1990 with a small planting using conventional Australian viticultural practices and varietal selection. However, noticing the movements of the climate in Europe, they changed their ways. They grow Pinot Noir, Riesling, Semillon and Shiraz. No irrigation and no synthetic fungicides, pesticides or fertilizers are used. They are also certified biodynamic by Demeter.
