2012 Lake Moodemere Vineyards Rutherglen Riesling

This noble variety has an unusual home in the north-east Victorian region of Rutherglen, better known for its reds and fortified wines.

Lake Moodemere is an historic, boutique winery owned and operated by Michael and Belinda Chambers who produce fruit from vineyards dating back to the mid-1880's.

This estate-grown Riesling is bright straw yellow in colour with a greenish tinge. Aromatically, there are fresh citrus, sweet florals and talc notes. 

Palate-wise, it's dry with flinty minerals, musk and a delicate sherbert presence. Some tropical fruit notes in the middle. A backbone of lime acidity holds proceedings together through to the lingering citrus finish.

Crisp, appealing and structurally elegant from what was an ideal growing season.
