2013 Castelli Porongurup Riesling

Castelli-Estate-Riesling-No-vintage-250-800-125x400Typically pure Great Southern Riesling from the Porongurup subregion. All steadfast determination in its youth. You have to be a bit of an acid fiend to get off on it now but in five to ten years (and probably beyond) chances are you’ll have a very good drink.

Along with the expected lime comes lemon rind, a whisper of orange citrus and white florals. Fierce intensity and notable length with a distinctly talc-like mineral edge. There’s really not a lot more to say at this stage. 92+
