Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 23, 2021 - Yowzaaaah! It's tough to get quality Australian Riesling in the US, so I am admittedly not very experienced with this category, but DAMN this wine punched me right in the teeth! The acid is through the roof, nearly melted the incisors out of the front of my face, and this wine is dry dry dry. I love dry Riesling, especially from Alsace/Germany/Austria, but I think this could have used a touch of residual sugar to balance the insane level of acidity. The petrol is there, but it is of a different quality of the German Riesling I'm used to. Lime, lemon, high toned minerality, and saline elements along with a not unpleasant (though unusual for me) rubbery element. I'm reminded of Ian Cauble's Riesling tasting note from the Somm movie "fresh cut garden hose". Honestly, not a bad descriptor for this wine...
