Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Red snapper ceviche
  • Oysters (and pretty much anything else from the raw bar)
  • Spaghetti with lump crab, meyer lemon, and shaved bottarga

This austere and tightly knit Australian Riesling is racy, lean, and bone dry, displaying slate and petrol notes on the nose and sour apple, lemon, and bright grapefruit flavors on the palate. This is taut, high-octane stuff that earns major points for its great minerality and precision.
