Description

Leeuwin Estates 2022 Art Series Riesling is lively and fragrant, amongst chamomile, kaffir lime leaf, Thai basil and galangal, there is a bursting array of finger limes, lemon sherbet and grapefruit zest. Distantly there are subtleties of ocean spray, samphire and petrichor. A palate that is is vibrant and racy, outlined by a solid core of the citrus spectrum. Energy is revealed through a laced natural acid corridor, almost possessing a quartz-like tactile feel. The shape and frame is fine, elegant and long. Nuances of saltbush and coriander seed through the mid-palate generate unassuming complexity.
