Type: White
Region: Yarra Valley
Country: Australia
Grapes: Riesling
Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, high acidity, off-dry
RS15 states the wine's residual sugar: fifteen grams per litre, which places it in off-dry territory rather than the bone-dry style the austere label suggests. This maker bottles Riesling at several sweetness levels and names each for its number. Lime zest and green apple over crushed rock and lemon pith, with the searing Yarra acidity carrying the sugar as balance rather than sweetness — it reads taut rather than sweet, and ages considerably better than its lightness suggests.
Serving: Serve at 8–10 °C.
