Adelina River Smith Riesling 2024

Our Verdict

JAMES SUCKLING - TOP 100 WINES

"Laser-focused aromas of grapefruit, flint, lemon peel, lime leaves and sea spray. The palate is light-bodied with a high-tension mouthfeel and energetic acidity. Delicate and refined, showing lingering notes of green apples, talc and slate. Excellent. Drink or hold. Screw cap." 96 Points - Ryan Montgomery, James Suckling

"From a single site. It feels quite glossy and concentrated, a little slick of fruit sweetness but that's tempered by saline minerality and tightening citrus fruit characters. About all that, the wine speaks volumes in florals, talc, green apple, gingery elements and a kind of lemon meringue note, too. Ultra attractive, a little extra bandwidth and character here; complexity is notable. All that flavour and detail is super impressive and makes for an outstanding wine." 96 Points - Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion
