The 2024 Naked Run Der Zweite Riesling is an off-dry, Kabinett-inspired Riesling from South Australia’s Clare Valley, offering a softer alternative to the region’s typically bone-dry style. The nose shows lime blossom, green apple and fresh citrus, complemented by honeysuckle, delicate florals and a subtle musk note.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with bright Clare Valley acidity balancing a gentle touch of residual sweetness. Crisp apple and citrus flavours combine with floral notes and a delicate texture, leading to a fresh, clean finish that remains lively and well defined.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Riesling drinkers who enjoy vibrant acidity with a slightly off-dry profile. Best enjoyed young and chilled over the next 2–4 years. Ideal with spicy Thai curries, laksa, pork dishes, fresh seafood, Vietnamese salads or lightly spiced Asian cuisine.
