2023 Howard Park Riesling, Great Southern

Super refined and pure with heady aromas of lemon blossom, jasmine and ginger flower. The palate is an exercise in restraint with delicate flavours, especially citrus, plus chalky acidity and a long finish. Lovely to drink now but will age beautifully.

Jasmine, citrus blossom, gardenia, and camomile rise from the glass, forming a pretty and poised bouquet. Underneath the abundant floral aromas lie bright notes of lime zest, nashi pear, and honeydew melon with beeswax, talc, and ginger lending complexity and intrigue. The palate is driven by a vibrant acidity that coats the mouth while elements of lemon pith and wet quartz add a textural dimension. Mid-palate, richer fruit flavours of white nectarine and Meyer lemon emerge adding depth. A wine of great presence, ripeness and length of flavour, drink it now to enjoy its lively acidity and tantalising fruit profile or cellar for up to 20 years to savour the layers of flavour yet to be revealed.
