The 2024 Pressing Matters R9 Riesling is a richly textured Tasmanian Riesling that balances vibrant citrus freshness with a gentle touch of residual sweetness. Produced in the cool-climate Coal River Valley, the wine opens with expressive aromas of lime blossom, lemon zest and green apple alongside delicate floral notes and subtle mineral complexity.
On the palate, it is bright and finely balanced, with lively acidity supporting flavours of juicy lime, citrus sherbet and crisp orchard fruit. The “R9” style offers a softer, more generous expression than a fully dry Riesling, while still retaining freshness and precision through the finish. The cool Tasmanian conditions help preserve the wine’s natural acidity, giving it both approachability and structure.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Riesling for customers who enjoy a slightly off-dry style with bright fruit and refreshing balance. Drinking beautifully young for its vibrant citrus character, though it will continue to evolve over the next 5–7 years. Ideal with spicy Asian dishes, fresh seafood, pork dishes or soft cheeses.
