Talking here about the 2013 Riesling First tried this a few years ago while at Freycinet Lodge Liked it so much that I sought out the Vineyard The crew at Gala make song great wines Their Pinot Noir being the most well known but their are other gems including their Pinot Noir and Rose But here we are talking Riesling The 2013 sits in front of me Very hard to get now I think but I have been lucky But it tells you where the younger Rieslings can go and I believe their 2012 has done well at recent Shows But back to the 2013 Fresh and clean looking in the glass. Five years bottle age have deepened the colour to to more gold than pale yellow

On the nose the citrus and floral elements have matured into something more like marmalade and it’s very attractive On the palate clean mouth filling and long The marmalade character is still there as is the stone sucking dry finish I love this wine for a number of reasons and would recommend it or any of the other Rieslings this great family vineyard makes Goes well with food or by itself Do yourself a favour .......... And try some
