Tim Smith Riesling 2023

Tim Smith Riesling 2023 comes from the Barossa, dry and unoaked, in the taut citrus style South Australia does so well.

Riesling goes back a long way in this part of the state, and the best of it grows in Eden Valley, the higher, cooler country away from the valley floor, where the nights turn properly cold. Nothing is left sweet and no barrel touches it, which leaves the acidity to do the carrying. Bottles also pick up honey and lanolin notes as they age.

Lime and lemon lead, a hint of blossom behind, and the finish is dry and flinty. Drink it young if you like, though three or four years will do it good. Pour at 7–9°C with freshly shucked oysters, grilled flathead or a bowl of green curry.
