SeppeltDrumborg Riesling 2008
Dry, Light Bodied style of Riesling
About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of RieslingDrumborg Vineyard has become one of Australia's premier vineyards for producing Riesling, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Always in very limited supply, the Drumborg Riesling is a delicate white with pronounced floral notes and notes of citrus zest on the nose. The palate follows through with delicate lime flavours and a trademark zippy mineral acid backbone. Wonderfully fresh and vibrant early in its life, the Drumborg Riesling is also famous for ageing exceptionally well and will further develop in the bottle for a further decade or more.

This is all about dryness and persistence. It’s a cutting, minerally style and clearly the result of a good riesling vintage. The mid-palate flavours are in the lime, lime-blossom and passionfruit pip spectrum but the finish is all about stoney, slatey, mouthwatering elegance. This is a top notch Drumborg.

Absolutely locked up, with little fruit aroma or flavour escaping the net, just crisp acidity on a long finish. The track record of this wine guarantees it will flower with time, but how brilliantly is hard to tell.
