Pale straw with clear hues, our Water Race Riesling is a dry style wine with a crisp acidity balanced with a hint of fruit sweetness. Fragrant with orange blossom and honeysuckle the nose also provides hints of white peach and lemon. Sweet ripe citrus, apricot and gooseberry show on the palate. A complex wine The Water Race has a long mineral and grapefruit finish.
An excellent food wine, full of flavour so it can hold its own against quite strongly flavoured cuisine. Also excellent with fish and seafood.
Dry, but not austere riesling thanks to subliminal sweetness and fruity acidity, which together create a pleasing tension. Taut, linear wine with lime, saline-mineral and wildflower flavours. Delicious now but no rush.
