Tantalus Old Vine Riesling 2021 750 ml

Description:

This wine exhibits all the lovely attributes that Riesling fans have come to expect from Tantalus. Not because it tastes the same from year to year, but rather because we allow the climatic growing conditions to shape the character of each vintage. Pale lemon in colour, the aromatics are at once intense, yet subtle and complex. A myriad of aromatics, from lemon zest to wet slate to white flowers are present. The palate is diverse and developed, a result of the wine being aged in bottle for 2 years before its release. Apples, pineapple, intense lime and mandarin all play their part. Carrying the signature crisp acidity of our Block 5 1978 plantings, this is a wine that is more about texture and complexity. A true expression of the earth it is grown in.
