Country: Australia / Bolero
Variety: Riesling South Australia
Winery: Marlargo / Clare Valley
Marlargo appears to be a reasonably successful attempt at fashioning a pan-Australian brand, sourcing fruit from different parts of the country. This Clare Riesling starts with scents of talcum powder and lime sherbet, then follows those up with similar flavors. It’s muscular and taut, even a bit austere, clocking in at only 11.4% alcohol. May develop through 2015.
