TASTING NOTES FOR Josef Chromy Estate SGR Delikat Riesling Tasmania Australia 2022
🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with green highlights. Bright, delicate and youthful, reflecting its light-bodied, fresh style.
👃 Aromas
Highly aromatic and lifted. Cumquat blossom, honeysuckle and kaffir lime leaf lead, alongside freshly peeled mandarin.
A beautifully perfumed nose with floral lift and citrus intensity.
👅 Palate
Lively, fresh and gently sweet. Flavours of lemon sorbet and citrus glide across the palate, evolving into lemon meringue with hints of biscuit and toasted rice.
There is a lovely balance between natural sweetness and bright acidity, keeping the wine light-footed and refreshing.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Light, silky and finely textured.
The finish is crisp yet softly rounded, with lingering citrus, delicate sweetness and a clean, refreshing lift.
🍇 Overall Style
A delicately off-dry Tasmanian Riesling (approx. 60g/L residual sugar) with low alcohol and vibrant aromatics.
Designed to be fresh, expressive and immediately drinkable, offering a beautiful balance of sweetness, acidity and finesse.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with spicy Asian dishes, Thai curry, pork, duck or seafood. Also excellent with soft cheeses or as a refreshing aperitif.
🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously appealing off-dry Riesling that delivers flavour, freshness and versatility.
Perfect for mixed dozens—adds a slightly sweeter, aromatic style that broadens the appeal and pairs brilliantly with food.
Cheers
