Stargazer Riesling Palisander

Pale green in the glass. Nose is unmistakably Rizza with its lime, lemon and green apple notes blasting off into the stratosphere. Light-bodied, zippy acidity, BONE-DRY, low alcohol. A great representation of place and grape, can't go wrong here.

NobleRottersSydney - Wine I like (Glass Brasserie, Sydney) : {screwcap, 12.5%} [Sian - guest] There’s a real springwater purity to this, with both nose and palate giving lifted apple, lychee and lime. Juicy but then bone dry on the palate. Medium acid & weight. Laser-like purity on the even palate and medium/long finish. So seductive young; makes you wonder what will become of it. Transcendent evolution, or flabby descent? Tough call.

At Home Dinner. This is a delicious riesling in classic Australian 'dry spatlese' style with a nod to Moselle 'feinherb'. There is a lovely line of lime and white stone fruit here with plenty of zest and minerality to a nicely balanced finish. There is also plenty of dry extract and grip here suggesting an interesting evolution ahead.

Cru Wines Trade Tasting (Bentley Bar & Restaurant, Sydney) : Medium minus intensity aromas of lime and candied lime peel with a little leesy note. Medium plus intensity acidity, a little lime but the acid proves quite sharp, slight texture, Nah.
