Whatever possessed me to drink a nice cold glass of Riesling on a day like this? Well, it was given to me by a lovely elderly couple who are completely beautiful, and it's local. So I had to try it.
Dandelion Vineyards- Eden Valley
Riesling 2012
12%
Clear pale lemon
Nose:
Mineral, stone, metallic
Green apple
Lemon
Honeydew melon
Almond
Palate:
Light to medium body
High acid
Low tannin
Lemon
Boy choy (Nic reckons there's bok choy in everything that tastes slightly bitter, I think it might be more like grapefruit)
Mineral- water from a mountain spring (granite)
Like a cool refreshing zippy nude swim in a mountain pool. A bit crazy on a winter's day but nice with some Barossa Valley Cheese Company cheese (the Princessa), some mushroom risotto, and a rug.
