Intense flavours of freshly squeezed lime juice and pink grapefruit.
The Poacher's Ridge Riesling is blazing a formidable trail in wine competitions, particularly with the older vintages notching up gold medals. The 2017 vintage is, naturally, young but is already showing the characteristics that will mature into greatness!
Very light lemon colour. Lifted lime juice and lemon zest characters are backed by floral and bath salt notes. A dry, light to medium bodied style of Riesling with a crisp acid structure and purity of fruit running through the core of the wine. Intense flavours of freshly squeezed lime juice and apple abound with balance and a persistent finish.
Singapore is the first export destination for this wine and this is not even released domestically in Australia!
