Tasting Notes:

The Rockcliffe Third Reef Riesling 2020 has a vibrant pale straw colour, hinting at the freshness within. The nose greets you with the fresh aromas of orange blossom and lemon zest, accompanied by delicate floral notes. On the palate, citrus flavours dominate, with lemon and lime leading the way, underscored by a hint of rose petal. The acidity gives the wine a crisp and zesty edge, contributing to a refreshing finish that’s both clean and invigorating.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

  • Fresh Oysters: The crisp acidity and citrus flavours of the Riesling make it a perfect match for fresh oysters, enhancing the delicate flavours of the seafood.
  • Mussels: Pair with steamed mussels for a light, elegant dish that complements the wine’s freshness.
  • Grilled Fish: This Riesling also pairs beautifully with grilled white fish, where the zesty acidity balances the subtle richness of the fish.
  • Salads with Citrus Dressing: The vibrant acidity makes it an excellent choice for fresh salads, especially those dressed with lemon or lime-based vinaigrettes.

Best Serving Temp:

Serve the Rockcliffe Third Reef Riesling 2020 chilled at 8-10°C to bring out its fresh, crisp qualities.

  • If storing in the fridge (5°C): Remove the bottle 10 minutes before serving to bring it to the ideal temperature.

Technical Terms Explained:

Titratable Acidity: This term refers to the total acid content of the wine, which influences its freshness and structure. A higher titratable acidity, such as the 7.21 g/L in this Riesling, gives the wine its crisp, zesty edge and makes it very food-friendly.

pH: A measure of the wine’s acidity. The lower the pH, the higher the acidity. At a pH of 3.18, this wine has bright, lively acidity that contributes to its refreshing finish.

Vegan-Friendly: This wine is not vegan due to potential use of fining agents derived from animal products during the winemaking process.

  • Grape Variety: Riesling
  • Region: Pemberton, Great Southern, Western Australia
  • Alcohol: 13.2% by Vol | 7.9 Standard Drinks
