Pale toasty gold in the glass. The nose exhibits lychee, orange peel and candied fruit.
Sweet tropical fruit salad on the palate. There is a lack of acidity to handle the sweetness.
Readers beware: The past 2-3 years have yielded a number of new medium sweet/medium dry rieslings on the domestic Australian market. The style is set to replicate the classic Rhine Rieslings where the grape originated. Extremely pure and exposed to bitterly cold conditions on vine and during fermentation which retains natural sweetness in the wines. This makes the true Rhine style of Riesling. With these factors, specific vineyard selection is imperative to create balance between sweetness and acidity. In Australia, some fail and some succeed.
