Whether you\u2019re a wine novice, occasional tippler or even a connoisseur, we all have very different palates when it comes to the type and style of wine we find most appealing. As they say, one man\u2019s meat is another man\u2019s poison, and in wine, there is no more divisive style than Riesling. It\u2019s a grape which produces widely different outcomes depending on its heritage. It can be floral and aromatic if sourced from regions like the South Island of New Zealand, or dry and highly acidic if it hails from the limestone soils of places like the Clare Valley.<\/p>\n
Personally, I enjoy Riesling from almost any region, but the steely flintiness of the slate and limestone influence in the Clare Valley never ceases to excite my taste buds.<\/p>\n
And the O\u2019Leary Walker Polish Hill River 2014 Riesling is as dry, steely and citric as you\u2019ll find in our premier Riesling producing region. I really enjoy the way that the green gooseberry flavours suck in your cheeks before the orange zest characters reveal themselves at the back of the palate. There\u2019s a genuine crispness to the clean and lean finish.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a tight wine which is perhaps more approachable when served only lightly chilled, but, either way, it\u2019s perfect with delicate entrees like natural oysters or prawn cocktail salads.
\nAt only around $20 to $22 a bottle, it\u2019s not overpriced, and that\u2019s probably a rare treat for an organically grown wine!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
