The 2022 Pressing Matters R69 Riesling is a generous and intensely aromatic Tasmanian Riesling that balances natural sweetness with bright cool-climate acidity. Sourced from the Coal River Valley, the wine opens with expressive aromas of lime cordial, citrus blossom, green apple and hints of honeysuckle alongside delicate mineral notes.
On the palate, it is richly flavoured yet finely balanced, with vibrant acidity providing structure and freshness to flavours of juicy lime, lemon curd and ripe orchard fruit. The higher residual sweetness of the “R69” style gives the wine texture and length without becoming heavy, while Tasmania’s cool growing conditions maintain clarity and precision through the finish.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Riesling for customers who enjoy a fuller, sweeter style balanced by crisp acidity and vibrant citrus fruit. Drinking beautifully young, though it will continue to develop added complexity over the next 6–10 years. Ideal with spicy Thai dishes, rich pork recipes, blue cheese or fruit-based desserts.
