At my earlier hospitality gig at Suryagarh in Rajasthan, India, I seen that a whole lot of our worldwide friends ordered and drank a whole lot of Riesling. As a part of my job entertaining them, I obtained to pattern a wide range of wines and alongside the way in which, I spotted that I favored Riesling as nicely.
Then, a good friend of mine ordered a bottle at a resort we had been holidaying at in Delhi and one bottle became 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 shouldn’t be region-bound, so the wine doesn’t should be produced in Rhine Valley in Germany, to be referred to as a Riesling and thank Hood for that! Australia, particularly South Australia, produces a mess 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 courting again lots of of years and so they produce, like most vineyards, a wide range of wines. I used to be unable to search 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 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 identified for his or her ageing potential, so it’s doable that extra will likely 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. 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 wished to attempt 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 no less than one other couple of years of bottling however as wine bottles go together with me, it’s almost unattainable to not open it instantly!
Personally, I’d pair this with savory meals like fish (a comforting Cod involves thoughts), even pink meat like creamy pork, and I’m salivating fascinated about ingesting this alongside blue cheese!
