Tasting Notes
A bone dry Riesling from the famed Pressing Matters operation that is known for producing some seriously good Tassie Rieslings and this is a prime example.
It leads out with layers of ripe green and yellow citrus zest and oil accented by high toned white florals. The wine has lots of drive and depth offering up more interest than many other Rieslings I am seeing lately that are defined by acid and not much else. It will probably improve with age too. - Pete L
Pressing Matters is one of Tasmania’s most focused and respected Riesling specialists, based in the Coal River Valley where the cool climate, long ripening season and ancient dolerite-derived soils suit the variety perfectly.
Established by Greg and Michelle Melick, the estate built its reputation on a unique range of Rieslings bottled at different sweetness levels (indicated by their “R” scale), each made with precision, purity and an unwavering commitment to balance. The vineyards are sustainably managed, hand-tended and low yielding, producing fruit of exceptional clarity and natural acidity. While Riesling is the core, small amounts of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc further showcase the site’s finesse. Across the range, Pressing Matters wines are defined by their tension, mineral drive and longevity, cementing the estate as a benchmark for cool-climate Australian Riesling.
