The 2025 Pressing Matters R9 Riesling is a distinctive cool-climate Riesling from Tasmania's Coal River Valley, crafted in the winery's signature off-dry style with around 9 grams of residual sugar. Inspired by German Kabinett wines, it balances delicate sweetness with vibrant natural acidity, delivering both freshness and remarkable precision.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with bright acidity and a finely textured mouthfeel. Flavours of ruby grapefruit, lime, pear and citrus are layered with white floral notes, a subtle chalky minerality and a gentle pithy finish. The touch of residual sugar is seamlessly integrated, adding generosity without compromising the wine's clean, focused style.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2025 Pressing Matters R9 Riesling is an excellent choice for those who enjoy Riesling with vibrant acidity and a subtle hint of sweetness. It pairs beautifully with fresh prawns, spicy Thai dishes, grilled chicken, pork or fresh goat's cheese. Enjoy now for its lively fruit and freshness, or cellar over the next 8–10 years as it develops greater complexity.
