2023 Pressing Matters R9 Riesling 750ml

The R9, with 9 grams of sugar per litre, is our most popular level of sweetness (in this case, off-dryness). The residual sugar, although only 9 grams, is enough to broaden the wine on the palate and the acidic lemon and lime found in the R0 give way to the sweeter versions of the fruit. The wine offers a delightful bouquet of sherbet, Tahitian lime zest, meyer lemon, poached pear, and honeycomb. Its slightly generous palate is balanced with clean, fine acidity, resulting in a lingering finish. The overall experience is simply moreish, leaving you craving for another sip. Varietal: Riesling Region: Coal River Valley, Tasmania Drinking Window: 2030–2037 Winemaker Notes: This Riesling from Tasmania’s Coal River Valley shows the hallmark purity and precision of the Pressing Matters range. The wine opens with fragrant citrus blossom, lime zest, and flinty mineral notes. The palate is taut, crisp, and linear with lively acidity and a long, refreshing finish. Food Pairing: Ideal with white fish, shellfish, and delicate seafood dishes. Also pairs beautifully with Asian cuisine and light salads.
