Rockcliffe Third Reef Riesling
Rockcliffe Wines, located in the Great Southern region, enjoyed a standout 2020 season. Benefiting from beneficial rain events early in the year, the vines experienced robust growth and excellent budburst. This was followed by a long, cool summer that allowed for a slow and steady ripening process, resulting in a vintage described as one of the best in a decade. The fruit from all Rockcliffe vineyards was exceptional, showcasing the ideal balance of intense flavour and acidity.
In the glass, the 2020 Rockcliffe Third Reef Riesling exhibits a vibrant, pale straw colour. The nose is a delightful mix of orange blossom, lemon zest, and subtle floral notes, creating an inviting and fresh aromatic profile.
On the palate, this Riesling offers lively flavours of citrus and rose petal, leading to a crisp, lemony finish. The mouthfeel is well-balanced, with the acidity providing a refreshing punch that slightly overpowers the fruit, adding a zesty edge to the experience.
For food pairings, this Riesling works wonderfully with dishes that have a fleshy texture and low acidity. It complements simple, clean flavours such as fresh oysters or mussels, enhancing the meal with its vibrant and refreshing character.
