2024 Duke's Magpie Hill Riesling
95 points, The Real Review
Ranked #14 of 57 2024 Riesling from Australia
Pale straw-yellow in the glass, with a dried-floral bouquet which has elements of lemon pith and fresh green herbs (basil; parsley), while the palate is intense and reserved, balanced and dry, but also soft—and the acidity is not too in-your-face. However, as a young wine food would be highly recommended. And it will richly reward cellaring. Intense lime-juice in the long finish.
93 points, Halliday Wine Companion
Hand picked, chilled, pressed to stainless steel tank, fermented using selected yeast, left on lees for 2 months and bottled. It's got flavour and character, albeit a little diffuse in personality from this warmer, earlier vintage. That being said, lovely iterations of lemon-lime citrus, green apple, a whisper of ginger, some jasmine florals and a touch of exotic green tea character in there, too. The wine shows some decent intensity of grapefruity acidity, a freshening rod through more pulpy yet pleasing fruit character. The finish offers up some floral, yeasty notes that linger into biscuity layers of flavour. Lots of easy pleasure here.
