Sato - Riesling - 2022

Such fine detail in Sato wines. Organic practices, low-intervention winemaking. This Riesling comes from Domain Road Vineyard in Bannockburn. Basket-pressed fruit to barrels and tanks. It goes through 100% malolactic conversion.   First sniff and I’m imagining honeyed yellow aromas, daffodils, ripe grapefruit, quince, lemon curd. Slippery, silky-soft and cool texture, crushed bitter herbs, a long yoghurty thread, ginger and that haunting, soft but dense flavour with refreshing wet stones rolling through and through. It’s a balmy wine. What a beauty! 94 Points Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front
