2024 Chaffey Bros Tripelpunkt Riesling, Eden Valley

Moculta-borne riesling from the Eden Valley with classic regional notes of Bickford's lime cordial, freshly squeezed limes, grapefruit, Christmas lily, crushed quartz, orange blossom, mineral salts and lemongrass. Plenty of cut and drive on the palate with a marble-like core of limey fruit propelled forwards by fine, racy acidity, focusing to a dry, limey end point. Boom!

Tripelpunkt is exotic, alluring and versatile; a thirst-slaking luscious style that finds every corner of your palate. Textural and balanced with great natural acidity this is a versatile Riesling with all types of cuisine from fresh oysters and kingfish sashimi to Korean Fried Chicken or a picnic cheese platter.

Light, bright yellow colour, with a restrained but clean aroma that is mineral and earthy, and only lightly floral or fruity. The wine shows more fruit on the palate where it is soft and rounded, not entirely bone-dry, but lovely balance is the overall impression. There is a real richness to the follow-through, enhanced by a touch of tannin grip.

Chaffey Bros Tripelpunkt Riesling from Eden Valley is here to show you that Riesling isn’t just for the serious wine crowd—it’s for anyone who loves a refreshing, zippy wine with a bit of character (and, okay, a little sass). Named "Tripelpunkt" after the geological term for the “triple point” where three states of matter meet, this wine definitely knows how to bring all the elements together: bright acidity, vibrant fruit, and a mineral kick that says, “I’m here to have a good time.”

On the nose, this Riesling is like a citrus festival, bursting with lemon, lime, and a sprinkle of green apple. There’s a faint whiff of something flinty and fresh, kind of like the smell of rain on a hot day (just before you dive for cover with a glass of this in hand). On the palate, it’s crisp and mouthwatering with flavors of grapefruit, lemon sherbet, and a dash of lime zest, rounded out by Eden Valley’s trademark minerality that keeps things lively. It finishes long and refreshing, as if reminding you that yes, you will want another glass.
