Written Notes

Curtis Family Wines are very much a McLaren Vale operation, celebrating the good and the great from the region. This helps explain why we have a McLaren Vale Riesling for openers, but please, before automatically dismissing the wine, take a look. You might be very surprised. Sure, it is different from what we might see from the Clare or Great Southern, but it is surely better that we celebrate those differences. And remember, the very first Yattarna from Penfolds contained a small percentage of McLaren Vale Chardy. The wine world will surprise you every day, if you let it. Another thought, if you like wine options games, you are a dead set Monty to fool your friends with this wine. 

 

Pale lemon in colour, we kick off with some floral and tropical notes. We have passionfruit and mango here. Rather atypical for a Riesling, this is very much ripe and forward and richly flavoured. This is one is better looked to for drinking early –now, for a couple of years. Worth a look. 90.
