2013 Freycinet Vineyard Riesling

The Freycinet vineyard was planted in 1979 by Geoff & Susan Bull and established the first commercial winery on the East Coast of Tasmania.  They started what is now an area dotted with many established vineyards and cellar doors producing fine wines.  Claudio Radenti and his life partner Lindy Bull, both experienced winemakers, now make the wines under the Freycinet and Louis labels.  All of their wines are made with particular attention to detail, great cellaring potential and regularly receive high scores from journalists.
Freycinet produce a high quality range of wines including this amazing Riesling.  The nose is typically cool climate with lovely citrus/lime blossom.  The palate is similar with limes, lemons and a beautiful line of crisp acidity.  Everything about this wine is harmonious with a long, lingering finish.  It is set for a great future and at $25 it is a wine that you don't feel guilty about putting away for a few years.
