Frankland River Riesling

It was a Friday night and I wanted a decent warm weather wine, I like Riesling in summer and sitting out the back with my old man is a decent lead into the weekend. So we tried something a little different from what we normally have, this was my father’s choice and I am happy with his selection.

I like white wine dry, I like fruit but I don’t like sweet so a balance of fruit and dryness is important for me. I find Riesling is pretty acidic and it gives me nasty reflux, yet I don’t mind – dry is better than sweet. This Riesling is light pale straw in colour with a greenish hue. I am finding aromas of zesty lime and citrus flower, the palate has flavours of lime juice with mineral notes that develop with length to a finish that is crisp and fresh.
