Wine review: Mount Trio Porongurup Riesling 2015

Mount Trio Porongurup Riesling 2015 $22

The Porongurup Range is a granite knob rising from the landscape about half an hour's drive north of Albany, Western Australia. In 1989, husband and wife Gavin Berry and Gill Graham and partners planted vines there, some of the first in this particularly cool part of the vast Great Southern region. The small operation made just 266 dozen bottles of this delicious riesling in the 2015 vintage. Riesling from the region can be shy when young, but this one leads with assertive, citrus-like varietal aromas and flavours. However, the palate remains delicate and bone-dry with tingly, refreshing acidity.
