The Dry Dam Riesling

D'Arenberg is a wine producer located in the McLaren Vale sub-region of South Australia. The 60-plus wines in the portfolio are known as much for their quirky names as they are for their quality. The estate was established in 1912 by Joseph Osborn, who initially sold grapes from the vineyards to other wineries in the region. The d'Arenberg winery was built in 1927, and today, the estate is run by fourth-generation Chester Osborn. All d'Arenberg vineyards are certified for organic and biodynamic processes. In the winery, all wines including the whites are basket-pressed after fermentation.

It's a rich aroma of exotic tropical fruits with notes of guava, white peach and preserved lime with subtle orange blossom in the background. The palate is off dry, with residual sugar highlighting the juicy red apple and zesty citrus characters. The racy acid brings the palate back into focus for a refreshingly dry finish which lingers with notes of lemon and lime.
