Clare, South Australia. Riesling. 11% Alcohol. Screwcap. Approx $A22This is quite a convincing, though unconventional South Australian riesling. It smells of Clare, with its combination of lime zest, cut fennel, blossom and slate, while in the mouth it is loaded with contradiction and surprise. If I had paid more attention to the back label (in particular the 11% alcohol) I would have known before hand what to expect in the mouth. . . Presumably there's 20-30g of residual sugar married to the punchy citrus acidity, what ever the exact numbers, the titration seems almost perfect. 91. Now - 2013.

Sounds like a case where the sweetness scale would have been very useful http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/a2008090545.html
