Australia  Tamar Ridge Estates ‘Devil’s Corner’ Riesling 2008 Tasmania, Australia $18.95 (138289) 12.0% alcohol The ‘Devil’s Corner’ refers to a seafarers’ refuge from a treacherous bend in the Tamar River south of the vineyards. Aromas of key lime and slate segue a wash of flavour—spice, lemon sorbet, ripe grapefruit and nuances of nectarine—carried along on a bed of soft acidity. It’s medium bodied with a generous mouth feel and a lingering well-balanced finish. Sip on its own or pour with skewers of Greek lamb souvlaki. (Vic Harradine) |
