The 2024 Lethbridge Riesling is a vibrant and finely balanced cool-climate expression, showcasing the winery’s precision-driven, site-focused approach. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in Victoria and crafted with minimal intervention, this wine highlights both aromatic purity and textural detail, with a touch of residual sugar adding harmony and drinkability. The nose is lifted and aromatic, revealing lime zest, green apple and citrus blossom alongside white peach and subtle floral notes. There is a fine mineral edge, with hints of wet stone and a delicate confectionary lift adding complexity.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with bright, racy acidity balanced by a slight off-dry sweetness. Flavours of citrus, mandarin and apple are layered with touches of honey, spice and mineral nuance. The texture is both lively and gently rounded, leading to a long, fresh and persistent finish that emphasizes balance and precision.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a beautifully composed Riesling that balances freshness with a subtle touch of sweetness, making it more approachable and versatile than strictly dry styles. Compared to classic bone-dry Rieslings, it offers a softer texture and broader appeal while still retaining excellent acidity and structure. Enjoy now for its vibrancy or cellar through 2032+ as it develops added complexity. Perfect with seafood, spicy cuisine, pork dishes or anything with a hint of heat or aromatics.
