Tasting Notes:

Color: Golden straw with a slight amber hue, indicating its age and development.

Aroma: The nose presents a harmonious balance of citrus fruits, lime zest, and lemon curd, complemented by honeyed notes and subtle hints of toast and minerality. There is a delicate floral lift that adds further complexity to the aroma.

Palate: Medium-bodied with a perfect balance of bright citrus and stone fruit flavors, interwoven with honey, candlewax, and a touch of mineral edge. The wine has a refined acidity, providing freshness alongside the wine's developed richness. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering flavors of citrus and a hint of toasted almonds.

Winemaking & Vineyard:

The Kanta Riesling Museum Release is crafted from select parcels of Eden Valley Riesling, a region known for producing some of the finest Riesling in Australia. The wine undergoes cool fermentation to preserve its fresh fruit character, and is then aged for several years, allowing it to evolve and develop complex tertiary aromas and flavors. This extended aging process contributes to the wine's smooth, rounded texture and depth.

Food Pairing:

This wine pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses, such as cheddar or brie, and is excellent with grilled seafood, particularly lobster or kingfish. It also complements spicy dishes, like Asian cuisine, and pairs well with roast poultry or salmon.
