Lodge Hill Riesling Tasting Notes by Wine Expert, David Andrews, DipWSET
The altitude of the Lodge Hill vineyards means that, despite high levels of sunlight, the temperatures are actually quite cool, especially at night. This has two effects: Full flavour development and pristine preservation of acidity. As a result, it is a great example of elegant, flavoursome Riesling. Citrus shows through lively lemon and lime with grapefruit enhancing it with a light bitter effect. Green apple brings a bracing, cheek sucking feeling (along with the high acidity) whilst honeysuckle, pear, nectarine, and the faintest development of Riseling’s signature petrol help balance it out. It is certainly refreshing due to the acidity, citrus and extremely dry level, but the complexity, balance and petrol beginnings are what make it quality Riesling.
