Great Southern Riesling
Great Southern, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
We tried this 2018 Great Southern Riesling up against its 2019 counterpart to see the difference year on year. While the quality was definitely consistent year on year, they did have their own unique points of difference.
Have you ever done a tasting where you’ve tried the same wine over multiple vintages?
Before I get into our notes, I just want to say thank you to 3 drops for sending us over these samples to try. Mr Spittoon and I love our wines from WA’s Great Southern region. If you haven’t tasted the wines from this region yet, you might want to hunt some out stat 😜
We found this 2018 Riesling a very pale straw colour in the glass. It has a deliciously inviting vibrant nose full of lime acidity, minerality, white flowers and juicy nectarines. While in the mouth it almost has a sherbet like acidity to it, yet it’s incredibly smooth and hands down 100% refreshing. If you can resist, some time in the cellar would be great for this one.
This wine was sent to me as a sample, I was under no obligation to post about it.
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!

Lovely nose, touch of sweetness with minerals and lemon lime. A well done drop of rieselberry.
