Castagna Vineyard- Quasibianco Riesling 2018

This is a wine full of surprises! It comes off as powerful and intense, unmistakably Aussie Riesling, but with just 10.5% alcohol? The secret is 30 days on the skins for the perfect balance of color, texture, and weight. The wine is exuberant, with orange blossom, dried tea, mandarin, and wasabi notes. As you would expect, the acid is out the door and through the roof, but it is checked by the texture and aromatic intensity. The palate finishes with a long, spicy flavor that is just perfect with so many gastronomic treats.
