Pressing Matters R0 Riesling

“Pressing Matters’ Rieslings are inspired by the Mosel styles but reflect the outstanding characteristics that Tasmanian Rieslings are capable of producing. Clones have been planted on their own roots and at a density of 5,000 vines per hectare. The clones are D2V3, 198GM, F8V13 and 239GM. Wines are now being produced with 4 levels of residual sugar (or levels of sweetness) which is reflected in the labeling:

• R0 (very dry)
• R9 (dry),
• R69 (medium sweet) and
• R139 (sweet).

The wine has a light straw colour with hints of green, typical of young crispy riesling. Complex aromas with notes of preserved lime, dried rose petals, and pear. There is also a hint of Cox’s orange crunch. The palate is clean and refreshing, with a vibrant acidity and a citrus fruit. The wine has a long finish, with flavors that linger on the palate.” Pressing Matters Wines
