This Jim Barry Riesling is classic Watervale—lemons, limes and a wonderfully clean, crisp finish. Just like a deliciously fresh party in your mouth. Enjoy!
- Sight
- Straw like clarity with green hues
- Smell
- Lifted and fragrant. Pure and varietal; lime juice, lemon, mandarin, lychee. Supportive highlights; Asian greens, lemongrass, wet slate.
- Taste
- Moorish and enticing. Line and length; firm yet balanced natural acid structure. Flamboyant and extravagant. Full of ginger spice. An intense flavour explosion. A mouthful of fruit and texture. Tahitian lime, cumquat, beeswax, grapefruit.
- Time
- A wine created to be enjoyed upon release but also having the character to be cellared into the next decade to increase the complexity already apparent.
