Riesling

One of the world's great grape varieties and the acknowledged king of German vineyards, also important in Alsace, Riesling goes through a number of ripening phases making it incredibly varied. Picked early it can form a base wine for Methode Champenoise; a little later, it makes a wonderfully crisp, aromatic lemon-lime filled dry white. A little riper the grapes produce an excellent, slightly sweet 'Spatlese' wine, later again an 'Auslese', and so on. In Australia, crisp, minerally, citrus-led styles dominate, with regions like South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia producing the finest examples. Fish, shellfish and crustaceans are perfect partners.

    Inniskillin Reserve Riesling Icewine (375ml)

    $1140.00 Dozen
    Notes sourced from Inniskillin

    Excellent conditions in the 2015 growing year set the Icewine grapes up for success. With a few freeze/thaw occurrences throughout the winter months the sugar levels and flavour concentrations were at their peak just prior to the Icewine grape harvest. The consistent frigid weather allowed us to reach our optimum harvesting temperature which enables us to maintain our high quality standards with the desired sugar levels and acidities in good balance. January 4th, 2016 brought ideal temperatures of -10º C to begin Inniskillin’s thirty-second Icewine harvest. One of the quickest on record, Vineyard Director Gerald Klose and Winemaker Bruce Nicholson began early morning and finished picking all estate fruit and receiving all grower fruit by the end of the day January 5th.

    This unique Canadian product was harvested at the height of Canada’s crisp winter. Naturally frozen on the vine and then picked when the temperature drops to a frigid -10°C. Only a few drops of concentrated nectar can be squeezed from each bunch. The juice is then slowly fermented to achieve a rich, specialty wine know as Icewine. This 2015 Riesling Icewine was fermented at a cool 15°C for 21 days until a perfect balance of sugar, alcohol and acidity remained.

    Tasting notes: Aromatics of fresh orange, lemon, lime and spice . On the palate this rich and elegant Icewine boasts smooth texture and concentrated flavours of peach and apricot along with a hint of clove balanced by a crisp, lively acidity.Residual sugar 235 g/l.

    Machine harvested and a cool fermentation. Endowed with amiable flesh and spice while upholding impressive tension and zest, this is an impeccably assembled riesling at a fantastic price. Picked at precisely the right instant, shot with exact lime and Granny Smith apple fruit. Fine-tuned phenolic control is tricky at this level of concentration, calling for a steady hand in both the vines and the winery. Drink by 2030.

    Notes from the Producer...
    From the immediate nose of lemon and lime, to the full weighty palate that includes some ripe pineapple characters, through the biting, cleansing, long, acid, ultra-dry finish, this is a great example of our Heathcote Riesling. Perfect as an aperitif but can also easily match full flavoured first courses.

    A stupendous riesling of immense regional character and yet flair, personality and precision as calling cards. Pretty lavender and chamomile floral lift, sleek and racy lime juice characters spiked with lemongrass, gingery spice, pepper and some wet slate minerality with accompanying textural grip. Finesse personified with energy to burn. Vivid, scintillating riesling. Drink by 2040.

    Mike Bennie – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

    Finely constructed with such purity and complexity, showing aromas of kaffir limes, struck match, white flowers, lemon peel and slate. The palate has very high energy and tension with a driving acidity and powerful undertone that will unravel for years to come. Made from vines planted on limestone in 1962, bringing a chalky aspect to the wine. Excellent. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

    The 2024 The Florita Riesling is tense and tightly coiled, with lemon zest, beeswax, green apple, cheesecloth, white pepper and shaved fennel. I find this to be quite a compact and savory iteration of the Florita, far less floral and talc-like than other years. I am looking to the acid drive and the phenolic presence for direction here, and both suggest that patience may be rewarded. 12.4% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2028-2039.

    In a word: excellent. This 2022 Watervale Riesling has soapstone, lavender, lime flesh, pumice stone phenolics and very fine, curvy acidity. It sits well in the mouth, and it lingers through into a long finish. It's incredible value for the money from one of the shining star producers in the region, going from strength to strength under the young/fresh leadership of the third-generation Barry brothers (Sam, in commercial, Tom, winemaker). It won a trophy at the QLD Wine Show 2022. Drink 2022-2042.

    The 2023 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett opens with a touch of mossy, lemony brightness that is vividly creamy. The palate is immediately fresh, superbly open and very friendly with some baby fat, channeling lemon and Reine Claude plum. It has a flowing, green-tinged aspect, almost like candied angelica, with a bright, fresh lemony finish. Drink 2024-2050.

    The 2023 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Kabinett initially presents a reductive funk that takes time to dissipate, allowing only brief glimpses of green apple to peep through. However, the palate is superbly sprightly, vividly light and lemony fresh, skipping along light-heartedly without a care in the world. It airily and charmingly spreads its lemony perfume and charm. A quintessential, elfin Kabinett. Drink 2026-2056.

    This Mosel riesling kabinett is a miniature masterpiece of delicacy. I love the aromas of wildflowers and herbs that are married to a wealth of mineral nuances on the light- to medium-bodied palate. Although a hint of sweetness is perceptible, this has quite a firm core, yet is very filigreed at the long, pristine finish. Drink or hold.

    The 2023 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett is deep, pure, fresh and slatey on the precise, coolish and also floral nose. Mouth-filling, rich and dense on the palate, this is a round and juicy, very mineral, stimulating, savory and saline wine with fine, stimulating grip and an aromatic, well-structured and relatively dry finish. This is excellent and stylish in its terroir expression. 8.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in January 2025. Drink 2030-2065.

    The 2023 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett opens with some reduction, but the yeastiness blends with lemon. The palate is sleek and contoured, vividly fine, with cool, salty slate. Its blue, cool aspect shines with yellow lemon, creating a gorgeous complementary accord that accentuates absolute elegance. Drink 2026-2056.

    Super elegant and super filigreed, with ravishing aromas of honeysuckle, white peaches and Asian pears, this is a very sophisticated and polished wine for this category. Incredibly refreshing, but also incredibly silky on the light-bodied palate. Then comes the extremely long and precise finish in which floral and wet-stone elements are almost perfectly interwoven. Drink or hold.

    The 2023 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese opens with a highly delicate bouquet of finely crushed or weathered slate into which the fruit is bedded like a princess so that the terroir and Riesling fruit are already perfectly interwoven at this early stage. Round and juicy as well as saline and with mineral grip on the palate, this is a dense and stimulating saline and frisky Spätlese from one of the finest Mosel terroirs. It is endlessly saline and salivating on the crystalline, super clear and vivacious finish. This is a great, highly stimulating and finessed Spätlese indeed! 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork.

    The 2023 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese is still a little reductive. A slight dried herbal frisson plays around tender yellow plum notes on the shy nose. The palate is beautifully light and vividly citric with gentle lemon candy sweetness and luminous freshness. A tingling, balanced, vivid finish accentuates the lightness. Drink 2026-2060.

    Still quite closed and tightly wound, this firmly structured Mosel riesling spatlese needs some time for the fruit aromas to unfurl. Excellent concentration and delicacy of flavor in a more forthrightly mineral direction than the spring-like classics from the neighboring Wehlener Sonnenuhr. A long-distance runner that demands some patience. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

    The sensuous curves of Art Nouveau design and joyful flourishes of rococo both give an idea of what Mosel riesling elegance means, but in a masterpiece like this it takes on a totally distinctive feeling unlike anything else on Planet Wine. The white peach fruit, white flower aromas and slatey minerality all tingle on your palate, then flicker on and on in a totally fascinating manner in the nearly endless finish. The touch of sweetness is already beautifully integrated, although the wine just began a decades-long life. Drink or hold.

    Rich golden yellow. Heady strawberry and nut oils aromas, with only a gentle hint of honeyed botrytis. White peach fruit essences and mineral salts animate the creamily rich yet delicate palate. More concentrated than the other ausleses and showing a distinctly aristocratic personality. One of the most impressive ausleses of the vintage.

    The 2022er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese GK was made from shriveled rather than botrytized fruit and was fermented down to noble sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a superbly refreshing and pure nose of candied lime, tangerine, pineapple, spearmint, lavender, cassis, acacia, lime tree, rosemary, and dried apricot. The wine proves superbly concentrated and focused and leaves a very intense and almost broad feel of honeyed exotic fruits. The finish has huge length and intensity. This is a hugely impressive Auslese GK.

    The 2022 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese Goldkapsel, made with about 30% botrytis, does not give much away on its closed nose. Still, the ripest peach, edged with orange zestiness, is luminous on the palate, encompassing tart-sweet fruit and the slightest lift of botrytis. Concentration and slight viscosity with intense sweetness and honey are edged with citrus. (Luscious). Drink: 2025-2050.

It offers a beautifully restrained and almost non-saying nose at first, yet quickly shows superbly complex and captivating notes of fine exotic elements (mango, guava, passion fruit), smoke, whipped almond cream, yellow flowers, orange blossom, acacia, and cassis. The wine proves superbly refined and elegant on the layered and comparatively light-weighted palate. It gains presence and intensity as it unfolds and leaves a magnificent elegant and gorgeously creamy touch in the hugely long finish. What a splendid wine!

    The 2022 Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Auslese Goldkapsel was made with a small portion of botrytis, around 30%. Candied Mirabelle and white peach are still tempered by aromatic citrus, resulting in a picture of elegance, full of fruit but also of serene, smooth, tempered ripeness that just shimmers with Mirabelle, peach, Meyer lemon and supple, tempered, zesty, balanced sweetness. Botrytis is only evident in concentration and a touch of honey on the finish. (Sweet). Drink: 2025-2050.

    The 2022er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese has a beautifully engaging and captivating nose of fresh herbs, white mint, bergamot, yellow flowers, pineapple, candied grapefruit, smoke, and juniper. The wine has great presence and is still on the sweeter side on the palate, where ripe yellow and slightly honeyed fruits with a touch of exotic presence come through. The finish is slightly broader yet captivating and hugely long. The aftertaste shows candied grapefruit and orange zest. This is a gorgeous, ripe, and refined Auslese.

    The 2022 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese opens with a notion of baked peach, especially baked peach skin, aromatic, slightly caramelized with concentrated fruit. Peach compote sweeps onto the palate, ripe and still with bite, just as cooked peach flesh appears, expressive and sweet but not overdone. This entire flight is a lesson in restraint. The long finish and aftertaste are tempered with citrus, corralling that expressive peach. Lovely, restrained, elegant. (Sweet). Drink: 2025-2050.

    The 2022 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese #11 just shyly speaks of white peach compote on the nose, nothing more. The palate is clear-cut. It flashes a steely slate tone before mollifying it with riper fruit and aromatic citrus, so you are undoubtedly aware of its natural colors. This is stone and poise, depth and salty slate, adorning its essential, stony nature with white peach, ripe, expressive tangerine and a fillip of zesty spice on the finish. Light, restrained and elegant. (Medium). Drink: 2025-2050.

    The 2022 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese is shy, but stone fruit shimmers through; think white peach and golden Mirabelle. The palate falls into step with citrus-edged, golden Mirabelle plums, fresh, almost sorbet-like in their heightened impression. The beauty here lies in restraint and absolutely harmonious balance. This is not much sweeter than a Kabinett, just a little fuller, rounder, but still svelte, elegant, full in flavor, light on its feet and medium sweet only. Wonderful. (Medium). Drink: 2025-2050.

    The 2022 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett is still slightly reduced and yeasty, but underneath that, chervil- and green apple-scented freshness comes through, fine and bright. The palate is gently sweet and has notions of Turkish apple tea and a little tea tannin, countered by rounded but delicate freshness. The long aftertaste has the merest notion of honey, soon taken over by citrus. While the body is slender, the flavors are already in full flush, with a long echo. (Medium). Drink: 2023-2040.

    A surprisingly open nose defines the 2021 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese, revealing an herbal savor that is reminiscent of moss, chervil, and carrot top, but just a hint.

Crystalline and refined on the palate, this is an intense, complex and mouth-tickling Sonnenuhr Spätlese with remarkable purity, savoriness and lemon freshness on the finish. This is a light but substantial, dense and structured WSU that will benefit from further bottle aging, The phenols are still quite prominent here, but aeration will help to oxidize and integrate them. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2023. Drink 2027 - 2050.

    Smoke, lime zest, the ripest Mirabelle, and a highlight of chervil play on the nose of the 2021 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese. More air brings wonderfully ripe notions of lemon zest, not quite candied but delightfully ripe. The palate is rounded, concentrated, profound and full of golden yet citrus-edged fruit. Slightly richer than the other Spätlesen but beautifully long with alluring ripe lemon and lime freshness. Weightless substance. Wonderful. (Sweet). Drink 2030-2050.

    The 2021 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese is very clear, bright and elegant on the saline and beautifully balanced nose that delivers bright and quite intense fruit aromas intermingled with weathered slate and also citrus aromas. On the palate, this is a round and intense, mouth-filling and lush, almost creamy-textured Himmelreich with a long, complex and saline finish. It needs some time, though. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2023. Drink 2025 - 2047.

    The nose of the 2021 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese shows a touch of smoke, followed by vividly fruity ripeness, redolent of melon, juicy pear, and flinty peach. The palate is full and sinuous, the sweetness absolutely channeled into juicy, energetic and mouth-watering flow. A yeasty undertow lends texture and an additional dimension. Freshness defines this wine and lends it untold elegance and balance. (Sweet). Drink 2030-2050.

    The 2021 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese opens with a clear, bright and elegant bouquet of great detail and finesse. Finely weathered yet still crunchy blue slate and maybe some saffron notes populate this remarkably finessed and elegant yet also intense and flinty nose that leads to a lush, round, crystalline and sustainably saline, very long and expressive finish with a crunchy/saline slate bite. The wine has classy acidity and is highly stimulating. 7% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2023. Drink 2023 - 2050.

    The 2021 Riesling Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese is from the smallest parcel the Prüms have, of just 0.6ha. Smoky, funky reduction can barely cloud the vivid citrus notes that break through - hints of tangerine are laced with lime and have beautiful crushed citrus foliage highlights. The sweetness on the palate amplifies the citrus purity, raising it to precision and high aromatic allure with bright acidity. This is incisive, vivid, invigorating and super-bright. What a treasure, what a celebration of citrus, what an incredible balance. (Sweet). Drink 2030-2050.

Riesling in Australia.

Riesling is thought to have been introduced to New South Wales in the 1830s by the Macarthur's (pioneers of the Australian wool industry). German settlers brought the variety to the Barossa Valley in South Australia in the 1850's where the grape flourished. It's since found many new homes, such as Mt. Barker in Western Australia, the Clare Valley in South Australia, as well as Central and Southern Victoria. A tightrope of fruit and racy acidity when young, age-worthy examples develop honey and toast characteristics, sometimes accompanied by a distinct 'kerosene' note. Generally suited to cooler climates, examples from Grosset, Petaluma, Wilson Polish Hill, Dukes, Western Australia and Best's Great Western, Victoria are all worth seeking out.
