At my earlier hospitality gig at Suryagarh in Rajasthan, India, I seen that a number of our worldwide company ordered and drank a number of Riesling. As a part of my job entertaining them, I bought to pattern a wide range of wines and alongside the way in which, I spotted that I preferred Riesling as nicely.

Then, a good friend of mine ordered a bottle at a lodge we have been holidaying at in Delhi and one bottle changed into two and the each of us couldn’t fathom simply how scrumptious this specific Riesling was. In fact, after the very fact, neither of us might recall precisely which Riesling the 2 of us had loved a lot!

Riesling shouldn’t be region-bound, so the wine doesn’t should be produced in Rhine Valley in Germany, to be known as a Riesling and thank Hood for that! Australia, particularly South Australia, produces a mess of wines that enchantment to wine-drinkers of all ages and social strata, which is how I landed up tasting this AUD 30 bottle of Seppeltsfield Barossa Polish Hill Single Winery Riesling.

The Seppeltsfield Winery has a wealthy historical past courting again lots of of years and so they produce, like most vineyards, a wide range of wines. I used to be unable to seek out this specific selection on their web site – and their web site doesn’t have a “Search” possibility both. There aren’t many on-line sources about this specific Riesling. I’m unsure why that’s, besides, possibly, maybe, as a result of it’s a brand new wine from 2023.

Rieslings are identified for his or her ageing potential, so it’s doable that extra will probably be written about this one, as time goes on. For now, this wine is crisp and punchy, as is to be anticipated. Not like the German Riesling, it’s much more tart, dry and acidic. A brilliant-chilled glass of that is significantly better than a chilly one. At AUD 30, it’s a way more accessible Riesling than most others, whereas nonetheless being a single-vineyard wine. If I had tasted this as my first Riesling, I in all probability wouldn’t have needed to attempt different Rieslings, however that’s a private opinion. Fortunately, everybody’s palate differs, and I are inclined to favor barely sweeter wines over dry ones.

Ideally, I want to do that one after a minimum of one other couple of years of bottling however as wine bottles go along with me, it’s practically unattainable to not open it straight away!

Personally, I might pair this with savory meals like fish (a comforting Cod involves thoughts), even crimson meat like creamy pork, and I’m salivating excited about ingesting this alongside blue cheese!
