Jasper Hill Riesling Georgia's Paddock 2014
White
Heathcote, Australia
7.5
WineSaint
Taut and crystalline, with lime zest and white flowers leading to a palate of remarkable tension. The mineral backbone. Pure Heathcote Cambrian rock. Drives through bitter lemon pith and fresh pear skin. A hint of tarragon adds complexity. Georgia's Paddock shows what focused Riesling can achieve in Shiraz country. The finish is long, waxy, with honeyed edges.
