Best's Foudre Ferment Riesling 2024 from the Grampians region is an exceptional expression of Australian Riesling, showcasing vibrant fruit character and remarkable ageing potential through to 2034.
Appearance
Pale straw in colour with attractive yellow and gold hues, this Riesling displays brilliant clarity and a luminous quality that hints at the wine's purity and precision.
Aroma
An exceptional bouquet greets the nose with delicate white petals and floral notes, complemented by freshly cut hay and luscious yellow stone fruits. The aromatic profile is wonderfully expressive, with white jasmine and honeysuckle adding layers of complexity to this captivating wine.
Palate
Vibrant and refreshing, the palate bursts with yellow stone fruits of peach and apricot, beautifully interwoven with white jasmine and honeysuckle florals. Citrus drives the wine with preserved lemon, limoncello, and lime rind creating a zesty backbone. Good phenolics and crisp acidity keep this Riesling light, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Whilst best appreciated in the short to medium term for its aromatic intensity, this wine will develop complexity over 7-10 years.
Pairs With
Perfect with classic fish and chips, yabbies in garlic butter, pan-fried halloumi with grilled nectarines, fresh seafood, Asian cuisine, or creamy goat's cheese.
