Merriworth Estate Riesling
Merriworth Estate Riesling is produced by the family-owned Merriworth winery in Tasmania's Coal River Valley, a cool-climate region known for bright acidity and mineral-driven whites. Made from estate-grown fruit (primarily from their home block with multiple clones), it is fermented in stainless steel to preserve purity, resulting in a crisp, aromatic, and textured dry style with subtle residual sugar in some vintages for balance. The wine emphasizes vibrant citrus and floral notes with tight acidity - refreshing young and capable of short-term cellaring. It's a great match for spicy Asian dishes, seafood, goat cheese, or simply as a sunny-day aperitif.
