The 2018 Seville Estate Estate Riesling is a refined Yarra Valley Riesling crafted in a textural, dry style that highlights both freshness and complexity. Produced from cooler southern Yarra Valley vineyards, the wine combines bright citrus fruit with lees-derived texture and mineral detail, offering a more layered expression than many traditional Australian Rieslings. Barrel fermentation and extended lees contact contribute additional depth while preserving purity and acidity.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant lime-driven acidity and a smooth, finely textured mouthfeel, delivering flavours of lemon sorbet, white peach and grapefruit alongside talc, jasmine and subtle mineral notes. The wine remains crisp and focused, while gentle phenolic grip and lees complexity provide added structure through a long, dry finish.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Riesling for customers who enjoy dry, textural styles with freshness, mineral structure and savoury complexity rather than overt fruit sweetness. The combination of Yarra Valley acidity and lees-derived texture gives the wine balance and strong food-pairing versatility. Drinking beautifully now and capable of evolving further over the next 5–10 years. Ideal with fresh oysters, sashimi, grilled prawns, Thai-inspired dishes or goat’s cheese.
