$280.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

This is a style of Riesling which is very popular in Germany, where is it is known as Halbtrocken (Half Dry). It is a particularly good accompaniment to spicy dishes as the slight sweetness in the wine balances the spice and heat.

This is the 16th vintage of this very popular style, and each year we fine tune balance between flavour, acid and sweetness. Released under the distinctive red coloured label.

93 Points, Half Dry Riesling 2022
“It’s gently sweet, but barely, really, with chalky, thunderous acidity at the helm. Juiciness is the key indicator, a little slipperiness too perhaps – lots of grapey, green apple and floral light honeycomb characters are the key. Slips along nicely, finishes neat, to a point, very fresh. A delightful, fresh rendition of riesling.”
