A little bit of petrol and definitely off dry but good acidity. Fresh and chewy. Extremely youthful. Not really ready. (JR)

Both orange and lime marmalade abound in the zesty, off-dry 2019 Riesling. A light CO2 spritz on the entry makes for a lively start. There's also a flinty, reductive note and a subtle celery character. Satisfying weight and depth are accompanied by roundness from the residual sugar (28g/L) while the fine acidity and textural phenolics provide a sense of structure and firmness on the medium-length finish.
