Leeuwin Estate Riesling on a hot summer afternoon

A summer afternoon, it was thirty plus degrees after knocking off work late. So it was time to grab a bottle of Leeuwin Estate Riesling and head around for a drink with my old man. Exquisite floral flavours punctuate this wine with citrus overtures of lemon sorbet and lime; despite my general lack of interest in Riesling, I found the wine to be pretty refreshing on a hot February afternoon.

I was actually pretty happy with my choice this afternoon after I thought it could go either way, this is a great bottle of wine and will star in a few more Friday afternoon drinks. So it is with some irony that I find myself purchasing a bottle of Leeuwin Estate Riesling to drink at the club rooms in the middle of winter every fortnight, Riesling is a little too acidic to be drunk without food, as we are inside the stadium in the club rooms, it isn’t too cold, I am just finding it an unusual choice.
