2025 O’Leary Walker Polish Hill River Riesling

Concentrated with a tense, chalky feel, searing acidity and a long, energised finish.

Brilliant water like core with greenish tinged edges. Intense lime, citrus and orange rind aromas flood the nostrils followed by some chalky talc and mineral notes. Concentrated lime and lemon fruits backed by searing acidity drive the mouth watering palate. Crunchy green apple, subtle orange, talc and steely mineral elements extend across the back half. Tense and chalky in its feel, it has a long, energised finish.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 11%

Other Reviews…….
Coming from vines planted back in the 1970s, the OLW Polish Hill River Riesling tends to be the formal, and perhaps slightly austere of the pair. Always elegant, it offers even greater ageing potential. The colour is a near invisible shadow of yellow, as pale as one could imagine. A powerful style with a minerally backing, there are notes of citrus, grapefruit pith, a touch of river stones and oystershells, lemon curd, spices and florals. A steely line of acidity runs the length. The wine has focus and energy and a very long future. A stunning Riesling which will easily provide pleasure for the next twenty years. Drink 2025-2045.

This puts on a powerhouse display. Rocks, limes, hay, plenty of texture, some grip, a keen juiciness through the finish, lots of goodness. Whispers of fennel and more-than-whispers of wet slate in the aftertaste. Dry in a good way. Like this a lot. Drink 2025-2031.
