Moorak 7 Day Skin Contact Riesling 2020
Regular price $39.00
From an Adelaide Hills fruit source. It’s a lower alcohol white, with skin fermentation as the label says. Makes it very grippy, very lean. Hmm. Interesting approach. Taking cues from the greats of Europe, which isn’t formula of course, but skin ripeness, usually higher alcohol in tow, and skin fermentation, is the go. Experimentation is great, though…
Very dry, lean and puckering, a bit too skeletal, all acid and chalky tannin, a little juicy citrus character there too. Scents of lime and figs, fresh cut grass, cucumber, snow pea. OK. hit of flavour and the wine curls up in on itself and goes to licking dry bone dryness.- The Wine Front
