At my earlier hospitality gig at Suryagarh in Rajasthan, India, I seen that numerous our worldwide friends ordered and drank numerous Riesling. As a part of my job entertaining them, I obtained to pattern a wide range of wines and alongside the way in which, I spotted that I preferred Riesling as nicely.
Then, a pal of mine ordered a bottle at a lodge we have been holidaying at in Delhi and one bottle changed into two and the each of us couldn’t fathom simply how scrumptious this explicit Riesling was. In fact, after the very fact, neither of us may recall precisely which Riesling the 2 of us had loved a lot!
Riesling will not be region-bound, so the wine doesn’t need to be produced in Rhine Valley in Germany, to be referred to as a Riesling and thank Hood for that! Australia, particularly South Australia, produces a mess of wines that attraction to wine-drinkers of all ages and social strata, which is how I landed up tasting this AUD 30 bottle of Seppeltsfield Barossa Polish Hill Single Winery Riesling.
The Seppeltsfield Winery has a wealthy historical past courting again a whole bunch of years they usually produce, like most vineyards, a wide range of wines. I used to be unable to seek out this explicit selection on their web site – and their web site doesn’t have a “Search” possibility both. There aren’t many on-line assets about this explicit Riesling. I’m undecided why that’s, besides, perhaps, maybe, as a result of it’s a brand new wine from 2023.
Rieslings are identified for his or her ageing potential, so it’s doable that extra might be written about this one, as time goes on. For now, this wine is crisp and punchy, as is to be anticipated. Not like the German Riesling, it’s much more tart, dry and acidic. A brilliant-chilled glass of that is a lot better than a chilly one. At AUD 30, it’s a way more accessible Riesling than most others, whereas nonetheless being a single-vineyard wine. If I had tasted this as my first Riesling, I most likely wouldn’t have wished to strive different Rieslings, however that’s a private opinion. Fortunately, everybody’s palate differs, and I are likely to favor barely sweeter wines over dry ones.
Ideally, I want to do this one after at the least one other couple of years of bottling however as wine bottles go along with me, it’s almost inconceivable to not open it immediately!
Personally, I’d pair this with savory meals like fish (a comforting Cod involves thoughts), even crimson meat like creamy pork, and I’m salivating interested by ingesting this alongside blue cheese!
