Castelli Estate The Sum Riesling
Castelli Estate’s The Sum series continues to set a new benchmark for exceptional wines under $20, offering fantastic value without compromising on quality. The 2024 vintage of The Sum Riesling is a standout, winning a gold medal at the International Cool Climate Wine Show of 2024. showcasing the winery’s commitment to producing well-balanced, characterful wines from the diverse terroirs of the Great Southern region in Western Australia.
The aromatics of the 2024 vintage are quintessentially reflective of the two renowned Riesling regions that contribute to this wine. From the Mt Barker region, there is a generous array of lifted orange blossom and rose petal notes, interwoven with vibrant aromas of crushed limes and fresh white peach. These floral and citrus elements are further enriched by the influence of Frankland River, which lends a distinctive grapefruit zest and subtle hints of spice, adding complexity and depth to the bouquet.
On the palate, the wine is tightly wound, offering a pristine expression of its citrus-driven character. There’s an unmistakable essence of lime and lemon, creating a vibrant, fresh core that is complemented by a delicate yet persistent streak of acidity. The mouthfeel is fine and elegant, but with a punchy intensity that elevates the experience. The wine reveals additional layers of lemon blossom, a touch of saline bath salts, and delicate notes of white flowers, all of which enhance its overall finesse. This balance between fresh, crisp fruit and the more mineral, savoury undertones contributes to its complexity.
The Sum Riesling is undeniably lively and expressive in its youth, with an exhilarating freshness that makes it an enjoyable pour right now. However, for those with the foresight and patience, this wine has the potential to bottle age for another 2-3 years.
