  Freycinet Riesling 2014
 
 
Freycinet Riesling.gif
 
Very intense fleshy and ripe nectarine rich aroma. The juicy ripe palate of nectarine is rich with very fine acidity, and the finish floral talc like with lively natural acidity. Good balance and great line and length.

The Tasmanian climate is ideal for producing fine elegant Rieslings with beautiful varietal definition. The aroma of fresh flowers with a hint of lime leap out of the glass. The elegant palate reveals rippling, juicy citrus flavours reminiscent of ripe lemons and limes combining with a crisp long taut after-taste.


While excellent drinking as a young wine it will develop slowly and beautifully over a 10 to 20 year period in good cellars at a constant cool temperature. With ageing, the wine takes up a more golden colour and develops gorgeous secondary characters of honey and toast.

Riesling is versatile and can be enjoyed with or without food. Its lightness and crispness refreshes the palate and makes it ideal for quenching a thirst on a hot day or for accompanying light flavoured creamy or richly flavoured, classic European cordon bleu food recipes. With seafood it is simply sensational. Try with mild Asian dishes too.


Accolades and Awards:

95 - Campbell Mattinson, Australian Wine Companion:
"Complex even in its youth. Apple and grapefruit with spice notes and green herbs. Excellent intensity and length. Drive through the finish is most impressive."

Past Accolades:

Gold: Royal Hobart Wine Show (2012 )

Huon Hooke: 94 (2013)
Very fragrant, scented aromas, flowery and lifted. Aromatic and spicy. Intense, firm and penetrating palate. Clean, dry and quite firm finish, with just a trace of heat. A hint of yeastiness. Very good potential.

Rob Geddes MW: 94 (2012)
Very intense fleshy and ripe nectarine rich aroma. The juicy ripe palate of nectarine is rich with very fine acidity, and the finish floral talc like with lively natural acidity. Good balance and great line and length. A wine of purity and lush ripeness that is giving a tremendous amount of pleasure as a young wine.
