2021 Brennan Gibbston Riesling

"Bright, light straw-yellow colour with slight green hues, pale edged. The nose is elegant in expression with fresh, light aromas of white florals entwined with subtle notes of lime fruit and mouthwatering wet-stone minerals. This is youthfully taut and under the SO2 the fruit has purity. Off-dry to taste and light-medium bodied, the palate is elegant in proportion with a sleek line of lime fruit, white florals and minerals. The flavours form a taut and fine core with good linearity, and the wine carries along a fine line of fruit extract textures with refreshing acidity providing energy. The flavours carry to a long, slender, but sustained finish. This is an elegant and taut dryish Riesling with florals, citrus and minerals on a sleek line with brisk acidity. Serve as an aperitif and with seafood over the next 4-5+ years. Riesling fruit tank-fermented to 12.0% alc. and 5 g/L RS, TA 11 g/L and pH 3.1."

"Super scents. Love it when there’s a mesh of florals, ripe citrus, green apple – the holy trinity. It’s slippery in texture but not cloying. It’s demure. Faint nuttiness and bold citrus. It’s held back, but there’s a lick of just-so sweetness that drives the finish. Therefore, you want to drink a lot. Crackles with freshness to close. In caps, yum."
