A stunning dry Aussie Riesling from the Eden Valley region of Western Australia - lime on the rocks! This bottle is a classic expression of the vineyard... it's like having a fresh lime in your hand that you crush gently over minerals... literally lime on the rocks!!
Eden Valley Riesling is prized for its vibrancy, purity and longevity and has produced many of Australia’s greatest Rieslings. The fruit for Rag & Bone is sourced from a single vineyard, high up on the Eastern side of Eden Valley. Warm days and cool nights ensure that the grapes develop ripe, intense fruit flavours whilst retaining appealing zing and acidity.
If you are after a lower alcohol, wonderfully vibrant and zesty wine then look for further. This bottle has got it all...expect a floral nose of jasmine, lime zest, waxed lemons over crushed marble. The palate is bright, taut and citrussy, the note of citrus oils adding to the palate weight. Its crisp but has plenty of body and a long, nervy finish. Everything you could want from an Aussie Riesling.
Absolutely perfect on it's own or to accompany seafood dishes, spicy cuisine such as Chilli prawns, green thai curry, fish and chicken laksa (with chilli, coconut, ginger and lime).
