$17, 4 stars, 88 points, australia, clare valley, Naked Wines, riesling
Pale lemon-lime colored with a watery sheen in the glass (12% ABV). The nose has intense aromas of grated lemon rind, lime cordial, apricot and paperwhite flowers. The palate is dry with high acidity and a light body. Steely, cutting lime and lemon flavors are very precise along with some rounder apricot and floral notes- the citrus really honing in on the center of my tongue. The acidity is very juicy and refreshing. This wine needs some seafood to temper it a touch. Perhaps a dozen clams on the shell with some plump oysters in all their saline beauty would do the trick. It finishes lean with a medium length. At $ 17 I like this 88 pointer that gets 4 stars from me. I would drink it till 2027. Salut….
