2016 Tarzali Riesling
$16,
The wine has a lot of the characters of classic Australian Riesling, crisp and dry and distinctive in style. Lemon and citrus tones are prevalent, which seems to be very much a Strathbogie Ranges character.
It is pale mid straw, the nose displays lemon and citrus notes with a hint of perfume and flowers. The palate is a mouth filling burst of flavour, with the lemon characteristics bursting through. The texture of the wine is quite smooth and buttery but with a fantastic acid back bone, and a long finish.
2016 Sauvignon Blanc
$16,
This wine has all the characters of classic Sauvignon Blanc. Crisp, dry and distinctive in style, this wine will be no exception to our observation that Strathbogie Ranges Sauvignon Blanc has the capacity to age and intensify in character.
Young, it is very pale with a slight green tinge. With ageing, the colour will increase to yellow straw. Herbaceous notes work exceptionally well with the background fruit of lychees and passionfruit. The palate has crisp acidity to balance the abundant fruit character.
2015 Dessert Riesling
$20,
Made exclusively from grapes grown at the Tarzali vineyard in Warrenbayne, by the Ross family. The grape juice for this wine was frozen and the frozen water taken out to concentrate the sweetness of the wine.
This Riesling is scrumptious, enjoy on its own or with your favourite dessert.
