At my earlier hospitality gig at Suryagarh in Rajasthan, India, I observed that a number of our worldwide company ordered and drank a number of Riesling. As a part of my job entertaining them, I obtained to pattern a wide range of wines and alongside the best way, I noticed that I appreciated Riesling as effectively.

Then, a buddy of mine ordered a bottle at a resort we had been holidaying at in Delhi and one bottle was two and the each of us couldn’t fathom simply how scrumptious this explicit Riesling was. After all, after the actual fact, neither of us may recall precisely which Riesling the 2 of us had loved a lot!

Riesling is just not region-bound, so the wine doesn’t need to be produced in Rhine Valley in Germany, to be referred to as a Riesling and thank Hood for that! Australia, particularly South Australia, produces a large number 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 a whole lot of years and so they produce, like most vineyards, a wide range of wines. I used to be unable to seek out this explicit selection on their web site – and their web site doesn’t have a “Search” possibility both. There aren’t many on-line assets about this explicit Riesling. I’m undecided 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 can be written about this one, as time goes on. For now, this wine is crisp and punchy, as is to be anticipated. In contrast to the German Riesling, it’s much more tart, dry and acidic. An excellent-chilled glass of that is a lot 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 most likely wouldn’t have wished 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 wish to do that one after not less than one other couple of years of bottling however as wine bottles go together with me, it’s practically inconceivable to not open it instantly!

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