D’Arenberg 2015 The Dry Dam Riesling (McLaren Vale-Adelaide Hills)

Country: Australia / The Dry Dam
Variety: Riesling South Australia
Winery: D’Arenberg / McLaren Vale-Adelaide Hills

Neither McLaren Vale nor Adelaide Hills are particularly known for their Rieslings, but this is a fine example. Scents of wet stone and flower-shop greens lead into off-dry flavors of lemon zest and green apples. The balance between sugar and acids, lithe body and long finish is finely judged. Drink now–2025.
