TN: Capel Vale Whispering Hill Riesling 2011 (Mount Barker WA)

Post by Waiters Friend »

Quite pale yellow in colour. A big whiff of kero on first pour, which blew off to reveal developed lemon-lime characters, orange pith and some citrus florals. The palate has reasonable, but not searing, acid, supporting the fruit flavours. It finishes very cleanly, and my dinner guests assure me it was a great match with their seafood dishes.

This is quite undeveloped for an eight year old Riesling. No rush to drink these.

Cheers

Wine, women and song. Ideally, you can experience all three at once.
