The 2024 Spinifex Riesling is a bright and finely detailed expression that showcases the variety’s purity, precision and natural vibrancy. Crafted with Spinifex’s minimal intervention philosophy, this wine emphasizes clarity of fruit, refreshing acidity and a strong sense of balance. The nose is lifted and aromatic, revealing citrus notes of lime, lemon and grapefruit alongside green apple and delicate floral hints. There is a subtle mineral edge, with touches of wet stone and a faint hint of citrus blossom adding complexity.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with crisp, racy acidity that provides energy and drive. The fruit profile is clean and focused, with citrus and green apple flavours supported by a fine mineral backbone. The structure is linear and precise, leading to a long, dry and refreshing finish with excellent persistence.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a classic, dry Riesling that highlights freshness, precision and minerality. Compared to more aromatic or off-dry styles, it is cleaner and more structured, making it highly versatile for food pairing. Enjoy now for its vibrancy or cellar through 2032+ as it develops added complexity. Perfect with seafood, shellfish, spicy cuisine or light, citrus-driven dishes.
