Peter Lehmann, Riesling Wigan, Eden Valley

WC Blind tasting training (Papanastassiou Woods) : In the nose, the wine shows rubbery notes, not clean, yeasty, strange, rather off-putting Palate is very dry, high acidity, rubbery notes, underripe citrus and lemon notes, quince notes, austere, plain, grippy, long finish, 11.0% alc -/- maybe not the best bottle ?

Part of a tasting menu, this was a pleasant surprise. It transforms with food with lemon and lime the principle flavour notes, bone dry but with a little roundness on the palate.

Bought Majestic UK £12.99 January 2022 6 mix promo price. Screw cap. Chilled. Phew, Dry means Dry! Lively fresh Riesling in a Foodie style, too dry for me as a quaffer. Light - medium body. Enough complexity to suggest at 9 yrs old currently, it still has several years cellar potential. N....rich and powerful typical New World Riesling aromas. C....light straw T.....lovely mineral streak; lively acid, just a hint of honey but only a hint - did I say it …

Seriously flavoursome mature riesling. I personally wouldn’t like it any more mature as I’m not keen on petrol flavours/aroma. Impressive and enjoyable 11%, screwcap.

Good Riesling. Lemon, lime and crisply flavoured. Maybe not quite as good as the Viognier

Lime, honey, rubber and petrol on the nose. The palate is more rounded than expected. It has a creaminess, almost cheesiness. Rich and full for a dry Riesling, with the bottle age definitely doing its thing

Lemon, lime, rounded

Fantastic aussie riesling with amazing freshness and depth around a mineral kerozene core. Vibrant fruitv, bright acidity and a very long finish. Still young, will keep improving over the next 5 years at least.

"2019" Sydney International Wine Show - stewarding notes; 10/7/2018-10/12/2018 (Blue Mountains, NSW) : {screwcap, 11%} Lemon & Sulphur. Very citric. The palate is dense and thick with lemon curd, but low-medium acid; not enough. It consequently gives the impression of being full-bodied, but in a stale, turgid sort of way; and then despite all that it finishes short. This was a pretty impressive label back in 2002-8 or so, don’t know what’s happened to it in recent vintages. I don’t …

Peter Lehman Masterclass (Bel & Brio, Barangaroo) : Kerosene, lime cordial and slightly crystallised lime on the nose, very acidic, lime juice with a smidge of kerosene and a little dusty note, some breadth and slight burr on the palate. Hmm
