At my earlier hospitality gig at Suryagarh in Rajasthan, India, I observed that plenty of our worldwide visitors ordered and drank plenty of Riesling. As a part of my job entertaining them, I received to pattern a wide range of wines and alongside the best way, I spotted that I preferred Riesling as nicely.
Then, a buddy of mine ordered a bottle at a lodge we had been holidaying at in Delhi and one bottle changed into two and the each of us couldn’t fathom simply how scrumptious this specific Riesling was. After all, after the very fact, neither of us might recall precisely which Riesling the 2 of us had loved a lot!
Riesling is just not region-bound, so the wine doesn’t must be produced in Rhine Valley in Germany, to be known as a Riesling and thank Hood for that! Australia, particularly South Australia, produces a large number of wines that attraction to wine-drinkers of all ages and social strata, which is how I landed up tasting this AUD 30 bottle of Seppeltsfield Barossa Polish Hill Single Winery Riesling.
The Seppeltsfield Winery has a wealthy historical past relationship again lots of of years and so they produce, like most vineyards, a wide range of wines. I used to be unable to seek out this specific selection on their web site – and their web site doesn’t have a “Search” choice both. There aren’t many on-line sources about this specific Riesling. I’m undecided why that’s, besides, possibly, maybe, as a result of it’s a brand new wine from 2023.
Rieslings are recognized for his or her ageing potential, so it’s attainable that extra can be written about this one, as time goes on. For now, this wine is crisp and punchy, as is to be anticipated. In contrast to the German Riesling, it’s much more tart, dry and acidic. A brilliant-chilled glass of that is a lot better than a chilly one. At AUD 30, it’s a way more accessible Riesling than most others, whereas nonetheless being a single-vineyard wine. If I had tasted this as my first Riesling, I most likely wouldn’t have wished to strive different Rieslings, however that’s a private opinion. Fortunately, everybody’s palate differs, and I are likely to choose barely sweeter wines over dry ones.
Ideally, I want to do this one after at the very least one other couple of years of bottling however as wine bottles go together with me, it’s practically unimaginable to not open it immediately!
Personally, I’d pair this with savory meals like fish (a comforting Cod involves thoughts), even purple meat like creamy pork, and I’m salivating enthusiastic about ingesting this alongside blue cheese!
