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. Browse our top rated Riesling wines here.

Other Reviews….
Sourced from Rieslingfreak growers in the Eden Valley, predominately the High Eden; John recalls there were lots of smaller bunches in the '24 season. Tight and high-toned, as all Eden Valley riesling should be, with Bickford's lime cordial and Tahitian limes at its base. Hints of orange blossom, crushed quartz, lemongrass and stone with a light, balanced sheen of phenolics and a febrile sense of urgency as it careens across the palate, finishing fine and long. Drink by 2038.

The level of finesse and refinement is incredible. The nose gives aromas of lemon pith, grapefruit rind, slate and fresh herbs. The palate is laser-focused with a underlying mineral tension, showing notes of mandarins, rosewater and chalk. Complete purity. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Such a beautiful, concentrated yet composed wine from John's mum and dad's vineyard at White Hutt, 5.8km north of the Clare township. So perfumed and essential, with crunchy lime, green apple and grapefruit alongside high tones of wildflowers, Christmas lily, jasmine, talc, mineral salts, peach skin and stone. Concentrated yet super-tight on the palate with a tubular core of focused lime and citrus fruits, a beautifully fine structure and a tangy, energetic line with velocity to burn. A superb, pristine wine. Drink by 2038.

Polish River-sourced fruit from two picks spaced 10 days apart. Water-white with a flash of green and fruit aromas of freshly squeezed lime juice, makrut lime and lemongrass. Hints of citrus blossom, crushed stone, celery salt, Christmas lily, green-apple sorbet and liminal notes of clover and honeysuckle. Such a sleek, tightly bound package, with a steely focus, porcelain acidity and a pitch-perfect tubular palate shape. It's lovely saline and sapid drinking now, but this will age beautifully.

Flaxman Valley is the quarry for this expression. It's a savoury riesling, stony, dry and highlighted with gentle but omnipresent cashew savouriness and briny acidity. Complex, individual and distinct with a perfume of green apple, frangipani, sea spray and cashew. Flavours echo this character list, albeit the wine is a little loose-knit in the nicest sense and bolstered with that attractive briny, minerally acid profile. The finish shows a lick of that nuttiness and yeasty savouriness. It's an excellent offering. Drink in the vigour of youth. Drink by 2030.

It just has that little something extra this year. It's its usual floral self, underwritten by citrus juice and rind, a kind of chalkiness at play through the finish. Sheer intensity of flavour though, from the outset, is it really excels. Drink by 2025.

Royal Tokaji has been making the 5 puttonyos style since 1990. The Blue Label is made with at least 90% Furmint and a touch of Hárslevelű, with berries mainly sourced from the producer’s long-term contract growers. Golden in colour, the 2016 vintage bursts with dried apricot, peach, fig honey and Osmanthus, tinted with beeswax and pepper. After aging in second or third-use Hungarian oak casks for two years, the palate displays spiced apricot and honeyed fig flavours, with Furmint’s tell-tale acidity spine (9.9g/l), followed by a lip-smacking spicy finish. Sugar level sits at 158 g/l, much higher than the 120 g/l hallmark for 5 puttonyos.

Other Reviews....
The 2015 (Lieser) Niederberg Helden Riesling Auslese –Goldkapsel– (AP 14) is very intense and fine at the same time, with smoky and lemony flavors, a remarkable concentration and a perfume-like flavor of grapefruits. This wine is pure, piquant and concentrated, highly finessed, fresh and light on the palate. This is an intense, lush and elegant Auslese with a delicate and endlessly salty finish that reveals a very attractive grip and huge aging potential. With 7% alcohol and just a bit of botrytis.

2020 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett

Mosel, GERMANY
$62. 99
Bottle
$755.88 Dozen

ABV: 9%

Closure: Stelvin

Selbach-Oster has a history in the wine trade dating back 1660, while the current winery was formed in the mid 1800's. Known for producing highly detailed and pure expressions of Riesling, Selbach-Oster have vines planted in some of the greatest sites in the Mosel, including Zeltinger Himmelreich, Schlossberg, and Sonnenuhr; Wehlener Sonnenuhr; and Graacher Himmelreich and Domprobst. Today, Johannes Selbach and his wife Barbara, with the increasing help of son Sebastian and daughter Hannah, manage their vineyards and winery with passion and respect for the estate’s long held traditions. Johannes, like his late father Hans, has continued the use of traditional oak fuder in his cellar, bringing in new large casks every few years. Vinification is carried out in a combination of fuder and stainless steel, in a hands-off manner with no fining, and predominantly with wild yeasts. The focus is on meticulous work in the vineyard with the aim to produce and bring home perfect fruit.
Other Reviews....
From the steep and shallow as well as warm part of the cru, with less fine soils than the Schlossberg, the 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Kabinett offers a clear, pure and stony bouquet with rocky and flinty notes. Lush and elegant, refined and complex on the palate, this is an expressive, finely grippy and salivating Sonnenuhr Kabinett that is not really in a Kabinett style, but it's gorgeous and has age-worthy quality. 9% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. Drink 2028 - 2060.

A beautiful Kabinett that’s got so much racy energy that it makes you glad to be alive. So minty and mineral at the long, literally brilliant finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The 2020 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. It offers a beautiful nose of cassis, passion fruit, herbs, and spices. The wine proves subtle and racy on the palate and leaves a gorgeously intense feel of racy and zesty fruits in the nicely light-footed finish. The after-taste underlines the raciness and playful side of the wine. It may have a touch more presence that your usual Kabinett but makes this more than up through intensity and focus. Drink 2026-2040.

The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett was fermented down to fruity-styled levels of residual sugar.

The wine develops quite some presence on the palate (it has 9% of alcohol) and leaves a subtle feel of canned peach in the long finish. It develops a great feel of finesse and presence in the after-taste. Drink 2026-2040.

The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese offers a pure and refined yet intense, finely flinty and iodine-scented bouquet of crushed stone and perfectly ripe and healthy raisins.

If you ever wondered what the famous Wehlener Sonnenuhr site tastes like, here is an absolutely classic example with all the characteristic succulence and delicacy. So much white-fruit and floral character, jumping light-footed over the palate at the long, filigree finish. Drink or hold.

The 2020 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. It offers a gorgeous nose of canned white peach, a hint of apricot blossom, whipped cream, and herbal elements. The wine offers great presence and structure on the palate (it has 9% of alcohol) and leaves a great feel of orchard fruits, ginger, flowers, and fine spices. The finish is not overly sweet which makes the wine already quite enjoyable in its slightly powerful style. Drink 2026-2040.

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.
