2024 Forest Hill Estate Riesling 12 Pack

93 POINTS

Mike Bennie - Halliday Wine Companion

An easy-drinking, super approachable riesling style. Lemon-lime, faint ginger, some bath salts, a touch of talc, licks of passionfruit, touches of saline/sea spray characters. All of this in a pleasingly juicy, lightly chalky, refreshing kind of frame and persona. A little chalkiness in the finish a nice x-factor. A sense of purity, too. Individual. Delightful. Ripping value.

This was picked a month earlier than 2023 and comes from the younger vines and includes some of the Geisenheim clones. Has a distinctive beeswax aroma with plenty of bright talcy bath salts character. Has good depth and long flavours with a fine acidity sustaining the finish. Has a lovely bright fruit character to it.

The 2024 Mount Barker Riesling is savory and spicy on the nose, with ripe yellow flesh fruit, white pepper, star fruit and wet stones. In the mouth, the acidity is firm, intense and hard, and yet this is one of the signatures of Mount Barker Riesling. These are powerful, driven wines of presence and phenolic structure, and this is no exception. The wine has a wide, almost broad finish, which I attribute to the warm, dry conditions of the 2024 season. 12% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
