A variety that works well at Willespie.
It is a fragrant style with floral nuances adding to the typical
citrus characters that the variety is noted for. The focused varietal
fruit characters of lemons and apples are coupled with a full-bodied
mouthfeel that persists through to a long finish supported by
balanced acidity.
A fresh well rounded wine that goes well with almost anything.
Great cellaring potential.
A truly noble variety and one that is surprisingly adaptable to
many different styles of food.
As a young wine it seems to like being paired with shellfish.
As a more mature wine, from 5 years of age onwards, the richness
and toastiness of bottle aged riesling lends itself to more substantial
meals including those with rich sauces.
