Description
The Ravensworth Estate Riesling from Bryan Martin's home block is a show-stopping release.
This spent 10 months on lees inside a huge 700L ceramic egg, slowly enriching the textural components which set this apart from other Rieslings from the region.
The acidity here is absolutely electric. As is the mouthfeel. It's long and pure and incredible to drink right now, though time in the cellar won't hurt it either. This is one of Bryan's most exciting releases to date.
His homegrown fruit truly coming into its own. Only made in tiny amounts, this is one of our favourite Australian Rieslings of the year.
Matured and aged in foudre barrels.

"Brilliant, vivid riesling of textural nuance, savoury elements, bright, citrusy get-up-and-go with intensity and yet approachability hand-in-hand. It smells and tastes like fresh limes, green apples, halva and green almond with a crackle of minerally zing underlying. Refreshing, but a wine of more depth than regional staples of the variety, with a gentle mellowness appearing. Released right in the zone, thank you. Delicious."
