Rockcliffe Third Reef Riesling 2021

Tasting Notes

The Rockcliffe Third Reef Riesling 2021 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 2021 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.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
