Here’s a little something different from the Great Southern:
Zarephath Wines are made from premium quality fruit grown by members of The Christ Circle, Inc., an independent monastic community.
This isn’t your usual stern and solemn Porongurup Riesling. It tastes like there’s some residual sugar at play but I don’t have any tech specs. Lime sherbet, florals, cantaloupe and bath salts. Developing some really lovely toasty, lanolin-like notes. No sign of kerosene. It’s not the most focused wine and it has good but not great length. Still it’s juicy and delicious with sweetness balanced by soft acidity and pithy phenolics. I really enjoyed it. 91
