2022 Rieslingfreak "No .2 - Polish Hill River" Riesling
Clare Valley, South Australia, Australia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Packing as much intensity in a 10.5% ABV bone-dry frame as you’ll ever imagine, this young wine treats your taste buds like a lightning rod when it strikes. Capable of cellaring for decades, it rewards aeration and being served at a not-too-chilly temperature. Palate weight and intensity grow with air and this beauty just keeps getting better and better.
"Now this is very good. We know that 2022 in the Clare Valley was a great year for Riesling. Time will tell if it is better than the great 2021 vintage, but my money is on it. Here, in this 2022 No. 2 from Polish Hill River, we witness all the coiled power and citrus fruit musculature of the season on full display, with citrus blossom, apple purée, star anise/fennel seed, cinnamon stick, lavender, Nashi pear and even kiwi fruit. At this point, it's still very closed but is a sensational representation of the year and the area. This is nowhere near fully extended. Patience, padawan. Drink Date: 2022 - 2042."
