Gilbert Wines Estate Riesling

Vibrant & Refreshing | Bold Fruit Intensity 

The Gilbert Estate Riesling 2022 is a powerful expression of the cool-climate Kendenup area, North of Mount Barker, Western Australia. Made from small, premium fruit grown with care, this Riesling highlights the unique terroir of the region and the exceptional winemaking expertise behind it. With its zesty acidity, vibrant fruit, and distinct minerality, this wine offers a refreshing, dynamic experience that will evolve beautifully with time.

Why You Will Love It:

  • Zesty & Bold Fruit: Vibrant lime, green apple, and fresh citrus dominate the palate, balanced by a firm, flinty minerality.
  • Distinctive Minerality: The wine’s steeliness and minerality give it a sleek, polished texture, adding layers of depth to its fresh fruit character.
  • Cellar Potential: While fresh and vibrant now, this Riesling will continue to develop complexity and elegance with a few years in the cellar, offering a golden, aged quality over time.
  • Versatile Pairing: Its bright acidity and citrus-forward flavours make it an excellent match for seafood, spicy dishes, and soft cheeses.

Tasting Notes:

The Gilbert Estate Riesling 2022 presents a clear, pale-yellow hue, promising its bright and fresh profile. On the nose, it offers an alluring bouquet of lemon, lime, green apple, and blackcurrant, with a touch of frangipani adding floral elegance. The palate bursts with fresh lime and green apple flavours, accompanied by a mineral-driven backbone of flinty, steely acidity. The wine’s juicy texture and bold fruit intensity are complemented by the distinct, clean minerality that carries through to a crisp, refreshing finish.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

  • Fresh Seafood: Pairs beautifully with oysters, prawns, or fish dishes, enhancing the wine’s citrusy and minerally notes.
  • Spicy Asian Cuisine: Ideal with spicy Thai or Chinese dishes, where the wine’s refreshing acidity cuts through the heat and complements the bold flavours.
  • Cheese: Soft cheeses like brie or camembert work wonderfully with the bright fruit and refreshing acidity of this Riesling.
