Sidney Wilcox Reserve Riesling | Riverland, Australia
Light in body, bold in flavour and made specifically to pair with food, this Riesling is opulent in style and seamlessly balanced for fine dining.
Although Riesling is usually a safe ageing proposition, this example from the warm Riverland region, has the opulent fruit ripeness to also be drinking well in its youth.

Origin: Riverland, South Australia
Grapes: Riesling
Tasting Notes: Citrus, satsuma, nectarine and passion-fruit aromas; the lemon, lime with pineapple fruits on the palate is perfectly balanced by a medium acidity. It finishes impressively long and a mouth-watering persistence.
“Elegant and complex with white flesh stone fruit, lemon peel, nougat and hazelnut aromas, it’s beautifully weighted and flowing in the mouth, delivering creamy texture backed by well-balanced acidity. Attractively composed and expressed, making it immediately appealing.” Sam Kim, Wine Orbit.
