2007 Banrock Station Riesling

SKU #1042611

A killer value (and green in the extreme...see below), this is made in a style similar to a German Qba. It is not quite completely dry, nor is it cloyingly sweet. It offers minerality, citrus, tropical notes and acidity--everything you could possibly ask for in a fine, food friendly Riesling, and with a price under $5, you can hardly go wrong with this for parties and casual dinners. Banrock Station has partnered with Landcare Australia and Wetland Care Australia to commit part of the proceeds from all wine sales to various wetland conservation projects throughout Australia. This idea soon spread throughout the globe, and today, Banrock Station donates important funds to wetland conservation partners in 9 different countries.

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Riesling

- A great noble variety made famous by the long-lived wines of Germany. Riesling is grown in many countries and can produce wines of high acidity and extraction, making a wine that develops in the bottle much like a great red would. Well known for its great dessert wines, this grape actually produces wines of all sweetness levels. Riesling has a particular ability to exhibit the mineral character of the producing soil, as well as exotic florals, honey, and spiciness. Here is a list of our bestselling Riesling.
Country:

Australia

- While it is true that the greatest strides in Australian winemaking have come in the last 30 years or so, commercial viticulture began as early as the 1820s and has developed uninterrupted ever since. The majority of the great Region are in the southeastern area of the continent, with the Barossa Valley, Claire Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra in South Australia, the Yarra Yarra Velley and Pyrenees in Victoria and the Upper and Lower Hunter Valleys in New South Wales. Many of the wines from Southeastern Australia are based on Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon and various blends including Grenache and Mourvedre. In Western Australia, along the Margaret River, great strides are being made with Pinot Noir as well as Bordeaux-styled reds. There are also many world-class releases of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling from the land Down Under. While many equate Aussie wines with "value", there are more than a few extremely rare and pricey options, which never fail to earn the highest ratings from wine publications and critics throughout the world.
