There seems to be two schools of thought in the Riesling world, or should I say two schools of smell and taste: those who like petrol and those who don’t. Those who like petrol, enjoy Rieslings with some age on them, because it is with age that the wine develops that smell; those who don’t, prefer something younger and more on the peachy-lemony side with a fresher taste. Enter the Riverview Riesling from 2006 … young yes, with peach on the nose, but there’s also a hint of that petrol – odd for such a young wine. The petrol doesn’t follow in the mouth though (it will over time) but for now its soft and fruity fresh with good ripeness and some tangerine on the finish; and did I mention dry – oh yes, quite dry.
