Two Rivers Juliet Riesling is a beautiful medium-styled Riesling with the sweetness (24gms) balanced perfectly by the acidity. Delicious!
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Aromas of Kaffir lime, lemon and Jasmine blossom are mixed with hazelnuts and a touch of spice. The palate is bright and pure with a beautiful grainy texture, honeysuckle, and ripe citrus flavours. This waxy textured riesling has great concentration and a lovely balance of sweetness and mouth-watering acidity.
Fermented cold in stainless steel to retain aromatics and purity. The fermentation was stopped when the sweetness and acidity were in perfect balance. The wine then rested on fine lees for three months to gain texture and complexity. "
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2022 (2022 Vintage)
"Very fragrant and enticing bouquet with scents of fresh white blossoms and red apple, there’s a core of sweet citrus with lime flower and a mineral stone suggestion. Off-dry on the palate with a momentary rush of sweetness then contrasting acidity takes over with core fruit flavours of white tree fruits and citrus. Mineral and fine, balanced and well made. Great drinking from 2022 through 2027+."
5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2022 (2022 Vintage)
"Offering outstanding poise and finesse, it's delightfully scented on the nose with lime cordial, lemon sorbet and delicate floral nuances, followed by a linear palate displaying awesome concentration and tension. Wonderfully complemented by subtle sweetness and juicy acidity, finishing superbly long and alluring. Style: Off-dry. At its best: 2024 to 2034."
5 Stars & 18.5+/20 (94) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, October 2022 (2022 Vintage)
"Bright, even, pale straw-yellow with a light green hue. The nose is fresh and gently full; citrus and apple filled the bouquet, followed by blossom and lime zest. Medium-light bodied, off-dry to taste, green apple, lime and zest, lime blossom and magnolia. Mouth-watering acidity flows with good energy and carries fine phenolics reminiscent of apple skins to a crisp finish. A touch of sweetness balanced the vibrant acidity and contributed to weight. This off-dry Riesling possesses an apple and citrus core with beautiful floral details and a crispy finish. Match with whitebait fritters and pan-fried flounder over the next 5+ years."
