2017 Wilson Polish Hill River Riesling

Wilson’s Polish Hill River Riesling is sourced from their oldest vineyards planted 40 years ago. Its miniscule yields typically produce a wine rich in citrus fruits within a steely structure, tight with lots of minerality.

Possessing prodigious length and power this magnificent Polish Hill Riesling will rank as one of the wines of the vintage.

Brilliant very pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Lifted lime and lemon aromas drift out of the glass with granny smith apple, light talc, wet steel and minerals also evident. Bursting with intense lemon and lime flavours that are threaded by a fine vein of mineral infused acidity, notions of green apple, subtle chalky talc and flinty steel underscore the wonderfully concentrated fruit. Superb length with a dry crisp finish and very long lemon, lime, green apple, chalky talc and steely mineral aftertaste. A highlight of the outstanding 2017 vintage.
Drink now or cellar 6-8 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews....
A wine of exceptional intensity, purity and length that counterintuitively hides its power in a velvet glove. Its citrus is unsweetened lemon, acidity riding shotgun on the long finish. A great riesling from a great vintage. Drink by 2040.
