At my earlier hospitality gig at Suryagarh in Rajasthan, India, I observed that lots of our worldwide company ordered and drank lots 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 noticed that I favored Riesling as effectively.
Then, a good friend of mine ordered a bottle at a lodge we have 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. In fact, after the actual fact, neither of us may 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 referred to as a Riesling and thank Hood for that! Australia, particularly South Australia, produces a mess 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 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” choice both. There aren’t many on-line sources 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 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. A brilliant-chilled glass of that is significantly 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 in all probability wouldn’t have wished to attempt different Rieslings, however that’s a private opinion. Fortunately, everybody’s palate differs, and I are likely to want barely sweeter wines over dry ones.
Ideally, I want to do this one after a minimum of one other couple of years of bottling however as wine bottles go along with me, it’s almost unimaginable to not open it instantly!
Personally, I’d pair this with savory meals like fish (a comforting Cod involves thoughts), even crimson meat like creamy pork, and I’m salivating interested by consuming this alongside blue cheese!
