Terrior:
Grown in the cool-climate Alpine Valleys of northeastern Victoria, where vineyards sit at elevations up to 2,000 feet. The region’s crisp mountain air, significant diurnal temperature shifts, and well-drained soils contribute to the wine’s vibrant acidity and aromatic intensity.

Pale straw with greenish hues, indicating freshness and youth.

Nose:
Aromatic notes of lime sorbet, white rose petals, and a hint of fennel, offering a floral and citrusy bouquet.

Palate:
Light-bodied with a gentle spritz, the palate reveals flavors of citrus fruits, white peach, and honeydew melon. The wine's crisp acidity and subtle sweetness create a refreshing and balanced profile.

Finish:
Clean and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus and floral elements.

Overall Impression:
The 2024 Frisk Prickly Riesling is a zippy and aromatic wine that captures the essence of the Alpine Valleys. Its balance of sweetness and acidity, along with its slight effervescence, make it an excellent companion for spicy dishes, seafood, or enjoyed on its own.
