Purple Palate

All good wine is born in the vineyard. Riesling derives all its flavour from that special moment when the berry is plucked from the vine. Winemakers simply harness the fruit flavours they are given and try to protect them along the way. When it comes to vignerons in the Adelaide Hills, few are better than Colin Best and the proof is in the glass. This tight and crisp Riesling offers so much, from complex varietal characters through to another dimension of fruit flavours that must surely be site specific. Enjoy this wine now or watch it in the cellar for at least 15 years. - SG
