2013 Kate Hill Riesling

Download the James Halliday Review for the 2013 Kate Hill Riesling

Pale straw-green; the fragrant, flowery bouquet leads into a palate where citrus is dominant, but also accommodates pear and apple flavours; excellent balance, with a mouthwatering finish.12.8% alc. 94 points.

WHAT, FOR YOU, MAKES THE PERFECT RIESLING?

To me, a beautiful riesling is one that maximises the fruit’s traditional characteristics and intensity. It should have ripe, citrus characters and powerful fruit flavours with a delicate, rounded palate. It must have freshness and length of flavour. Balance is crucial: it should be refreshing and arouse the senses, while balancing on the knife’s edge of sweet and dry.
