TASTING NOTES FOR Calabria Bros Riesling 2023

🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with bright green hues and brilliant clarity. Fresh, vibrant and youthful in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Highly lifted and aromatic, bursting with kaffir lime leaf, lime blossom and citrus pith. Layers of grapefruit, lemon and subtle herbal notes—thyme, bay leaf and fresh mint—add complexity.

👅 Palate
Crisp and tightly focused, delivering pure citrus flavours of lime, lemon and green apple. The palate is dry and precise, with excellent fruit purity and vibrant acidity driving freshness.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Zesty and mouth-watering with a fine, linear structure. The finish is long and refreshing, with lingering citrus, a sherbet-like edge and a clean mineral backbone.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Eden Valley Riesling—fresh, citrus-driven and mineral. Made in a clean, unoaked style to highlight purity, acidity and aromatic lift, with excellent drink-now appeal and short to medium-term cellaring potential.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with oysters, scallops, fresh seafood or Asian dishes with lime, chilli and herbs. Also excellent with fish tacos or light salads.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A cracking Riesling—zesty, vibrant and packed with citrus energy.
Perfect for mixed dozens and a go-to white for lovers of crisp, refreshing styles.
