At my earlier hospitality gig at Suryagarh in Rajasthan, India, I observed that a variety of our worldwide visitors ordered and drank a variety of Riesling. As a part of my job entertaining them, I obtained to pattern a wide range of wines and alongside the best way, I spotted that I preferred Riesling as properly.
Then, a pal of mine ordered a bottle at a lodge we have been holidaying at in Delhi and one bottle was 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 shouldn’t be region-bound, so the wine doesn’t need to be produced in Rhine Valley in Germany, to be known 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 relationship again tons 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, perhaps, 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 will probably 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. 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 needed 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 that one after no less than one other couple of years of bottling however as wine bottles go together with me, it’s practically unattainable to not open it instantly!
Personally, I might pair this with savory meals like fish (a comforting Cod involves thoughts), even crimson meat like creamy pork, and I’m salivating enthusiastic about consuming this alongside blue cheese!
