CASTLE ROCK ESTATE RIESLING 2024 ($35 / Porongurup, WA)
This flagship Riesling from Rob Diletti encapsulates and reflects the pristine fruit expression and terroir of the region.
The expected citrussy and floral primary characters emerge on opening, leading to wafts of herby aromas and jubey acid grab.
There is a slight undertow of astringency and grip which promises potential for longevity.
On breathing, refreshing vibrancy with a perception of sweetness, glide along the palate, enticing to yet another sip.
This is another flavoursome, reliable Porongurup Riesling of balance, grip and quality...one worth seeking out.
