Howard Park Western Australia Riesling 2007

Made by Howard Park in Australia (region: Great Southern) .

A dry, still, white wine with 12.5% alchohol tasted on 5th Apr 2008.

Grape: Riesling

Quality: Very Good

Value: Good

Cost: Usually between $18.99 - $24.99.

Looks: Clear and bright, with a light looking body and very slight green edge

Smells: Fresh and zesty - quite ripe citrus and a mineral edginess

Feels: Light

Tastes: Being a Howard Park Riesling fan, I have to say that this is the best Howard Park in quite a while. The citrus is quite zingy and full of mandarin and lemon rind, with a round edge of minerality holding it all together. Good length. If those austere dry as all get out Clare Rieslings are not for you, then try this one - it may well be right up your alley.
