CASTLE ROCK ESTATE 'A&W' RIESLING 2024 (Porongurup WA)
This wine ticks all the 'best of..' boxes. Hand harvested from the best rows of the best performing blocks and meticulously vinified. It is tightly framed, displaying oyster-shell minerality and a mid-palate grab of grapefruit, dried herbs and straw.
The fresh, dominant acidity and bone-dry framework, support the restrained underlying display of varietal characteristics.
This young Castle Rock Estate 'A&W' Riesling, still in its infancy, is one of structure and quality and will undoubtedly blossom with some cellaring.
