ROBERT STEIN 'HALF DRY' RIESLING 2023 ($50 / Orange, NSW)
It is moulded along the classic halb-trocken Germanic style whereby the 15 grams residual sugar component is admirably balanced by the crisp natural cool-climate acids.
To the fore are the traditional varietal aromas and flavours of grapefruit and lemon sherbet spun sugar.
It is a vibrant, silky and seductive young Riesling which would complement Asian style salads, fresh seafood platters or enjoyed by itself.
