Australian White Wines > Riesling
Riesling sometimes known here in Australia as Rhine Riesling, is considered by many to be the world's finest white wine grape variety.There is much to substantiate this claim. Riesling can be a wonderful drink as a dry,crisp,fresh white and equally intriguing as a sweet dessert style. It is superb young and freshly bottled, and drunk within six months of harvest,but can be equally impressive when left in the bottle for up to 30 years to develop a marvellous richness of orange marmalade,which builds in the bottle and is quite unlike any other wine.This development can continue for two or three decades in a decent cellar.Australian riesling are now drier thanthey used to be but many mistake the natural flavours for residual sweetnees. Even if quite sweet, riesling will appear to be dry because of the high level of acid which helps cleans the palate.Even a youngdry wine with a balance of sugar and acid will give alingering feeling in the mouth with an intense bouquet of apple, lemon and lime, through to steely mineral, cooked citrus marmalade and chalky or dusty characters. Although it is a magical experience.
