Polish Hill River Riesling 2007 O'Leary Walker Wine

Only 9 kilometres from Watervale, the Polish Hill River region is quite a bit cooler and typically the fruit ripens 2-3 weeks later. This, combined with the soil, produces fruit with finesse and intensity. It is the slate of Polish Hill River, as opposed to the limestone of Watervale that gives rise to the point of difference between these styles. Honey blossom,lime, mineral delicacy with a dry fine long palate.

Light, bright straw colour. Expressions of limes and minerality, which continue to build as the wine develops. The floral perfume and hint of bath powder sets this wine apart. The palate is mineral textured with hints of orange rind with great purity of fruit. This wonderfully fragrant, blossom accented wine, has great mouthfeel, balance, and an impeccable lingering finish. The perfect accompaniment to oysters natural. "Bright, almost luminous green colour, with a very mineral, slatey nose, some lime, grapefruit and talc powder aromas. The fruit is succulent but restrained, with limes, grapefruit, and slate, whilst the acidity provides plenty vim and verve. Lovely length, a refreshing and finessed Riesling!" -Decanted.com
