Castle Rock Estate Skywalk Riesling

Castle Rock Skywalk Riesling 2023, named after the scenic lookout attached to Castle Rock, captures the essence of its panoramic views with a wine that is both full-bodied and flavourful. This Riesling, with its pale lemon hue and greenish tinge, offers a classic bouquet that includes notes of musk sticks and delicate florals. The nose is further enriched by hints of minerals, citrus, and river stones, creating a vibrant aromatic profile.

On the palate, the Skywalk Riesling is approachable and irresistibly moreish, boasting a lovely richness and subtle texture. The acidity, reminiscent of softer Meyer lemons, carries gracefully throughout the wine, leading to a finish that is both fresh and playful. This balance makes it versatile enough to pair with a wide range of dishes, from seafood to spicy cuisine.

Crafted from a blend of estate fruit and some pressings, and fermented in stainless steel, this Riesling is clean and fresh, with a crisp, dry finish and good length. While it’s delightful to enjoy now, it also has the potential to age beautifully over the next decade, developing additional complexity and intrigue. Whether savoured in its youthful exuberance or allowed to mature, it offers a rewarding experience for any wine enthusiast.

95 Points “Best White Wines Under $30. The 2023 Skywalk Riesling leads with a distinctly talc-y, mineral nose. It has all the delicacy and ephemeral nuance in the mouth as well. Despite its levity, it is long and persistent through the finish, spooling off into the distance, with white tea, jasmine, green apple skins, scratched lime zest and what feels like a million other tiny characters … like pulverized confetti. It’s such a pleasure to drink this. It’s pure and crystalline.” Wine Advocate, Erin Larkin

93 Points “The vibrancy of a cold pressed juice bar, green apple, celery and pineapple. White star jasmine, begonia and watercress. There is lemonade citrus and a hint of rose petal. Gorgeously dry and refreshing, this is more than a Skywalk, it’s a frolic through the clouds and into Riesling heaven. A tightrope of floral and fruit with lovely linear length and a crisp finish. Some of the most affordable quality Riesling in the country. Drink now and serve alongside a creamy spinach cob loaf.” Winepilot, Shanteh Wale, Nov 2023
