At my earlier hospitality gig at Suryagarh in Rajasthan, India, I seen that loads of our worldwide company ordered and drank loads of Riesling. As a part of my job entertaining them, I received to pattern a wide range of wines and alongside the way in which, I spotted that I appreciated Riesling as nicely.
Then, a good friend of mine ordered a bottle at a lodge we had been holidaying at in Delhi and one bottle become 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 may recall precisely which Riesling the 2 of us had loved a lot!
Riesling will not be 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 enchantment 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 a whole lot 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” possibility both. There aren’t many on-line assets about this specific Riesling. I’m undecided why that’s, besides, perhaps, maybe, as a result of it’s a brand new wine from 2023.
Rieslings are identified for his or her ageing potential, so it’s attainable that extra shall be written about this one, as time goes on. For now, this wine is crisp and punchy, as is to be anticipated. Not like the German Riesling, it’s much more tart, dry and acidic. An excellent-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 needed to attempt different Rieslings, however that’s a private opinion. Fortunately, everybody’s palate differs, and I are inclined to want 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 along with me, it’s almost unattainable to not open it straight away!
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 fascinated with consuming this alongside blue cheese!
