2022 Three Lions Riesling

100% Riesling 

Very pale straw. The aromatics are vibrant rose petals and floral notes with hints of aromatic musk and orange blossom. A generously weighted palate focused around a limey/citrus core and complex mineral flavours. The naturally high acidity provides the backbone for the abundant fruit flavours to be carried—a long, clean finish.

Pair with Chilli, Lime and Cumin Cod.

95 points - "Plantagenet have knocked this one out of the park. A stunning, young, approachable drink-now style of Riesling with beautiful aromatics. Talcy florals, lemon zest and lemon myrtle. The palate is equally flamboyant and more open than most, offering a delicate pithy texture, a streak of lime acidity, more zesty and apple flavours." - WA Wine Guide

93 points - "Pristine and elegantly expressed, the bouquet shows green apple, fresh fig and lemon zest notes, leading to a finely flowing palate that's juicy and bright. Crisp-dry and lingering with mouth-watering flavours." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

92 points + Top Rank - "This is good value riesling in an accessible, almost slightly up-front style, but it doesn’t sacrifice age-worthiness. A light-medium yellow colour and a slight toasty note on the nose combine with mandarin and lemon-pith nuances. The wine has a full middle and a very dry balance, assisted by a little tannin. Generous flavour if not great delicacy." - Huon Hooke, The Real Review
