2022 Block 11 Riesling

The aromatic journey begins with wonderful scents of canned pineapple, green apple and jasmine with sweeter notes of honeysuckle, canned mandarins and hints of papaya. The sweet attack quickly softens and mellows under the bright acidity, delivering flavours of tropical fruits, guava and citrus cocktail. The citrus fresh finish lingers, leaving the palate feeling squeaky clean.

Fear not the sweet Riesling! Sweetness in wines helps cool the heat of spicy fare, balance salty dishes and complement select desserts (light cheesecakes, key lime pie).  The combo of sweetness & acidity will complement any kind of ‘sweet ‘n sour’ dish with ease.  The intensity of flavour matches well with chicken liver patés, strong cheddars and blue cheeses and other intensely flavoured dishes, such as Thai or Indonesian cuisine.
