Pressing Matters “R69” Riesling 2019 (6 Bottles) Tasmania

$276.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The medium-sweet 2018 Riesling R69 – a versatile wine to have with Asian style or spicy foods, hard cheeses or dessert. As I often say in the tasting room – “it’s the wine to have while relaxing in the hammock on the verandah.” Clean, crisp and with the quality of its predecessors – a lovely wine for those who enjoy medium-sweet white wine. (Michelle Melick)

Here is an expert opinion:

“This has a healthy 69g/l of residual sugar, putting it into the sweet wine category without any room for argument. And because it’s Tasmania (and skilfully made), the wine is balanced by its natural acidity.”– 96 points – Gold -James Halliday – Australian Wine Companion, 01 August 2019

Description

“Greg Melick has turned his attention to grapegrowing and winemaking, planting 2.9ha of riesling at his vineyard in the Coal River Valley. It is a perfect north- facing slope, and the Mosel- style Rieslings are sweeping all before them. His multi- clone 4.2ha pinot noir block is also striking gold”.
JAMES HALLIDAY

Pressing Matters was also awarded the ‘Most Successful Tasmanian Exhibitor’ at the recent Royal Hobart Wine Show with the current release Pinot Noir earning a Gold.

“With a light yellow-green hue, this lovely wine has spice, honey, vanilla nuances adding to its lemon-citrus bouquet. Juicy fruit and subtle sweetness are superbly balanced. It’s delicious now but will blossom given more time. It won two trophies including reserve champion wine of show, 2020 Tasmanian Wine Show.”

96/100 -Huon Hooke, The Real Review, 16 Jan 2020 “The pristine, fresh acidity is a given, and rather than merely sweetness from the 69g/l residual sugar, it has morphed this wine altogether, adding layers of flavour. Preserved ginger and oranges, lemon balm infused tea and cardamom rally together on the long finish. Beautiful balance.”
