Paradigm Hill Riesling 2012

I haven't tried a Riesling from the Mornington before and this one sticks out in term of texture and weight. It is a little stickier on the palate with the flavours of minerals, lemon grass, summer blossom and epsom salts providing a nice counter point to the heavy weight. The flavours slowly crawl along the long length in a glycerol style. The acidity isn't as high has I would have liked yet the wine is still balanced in a textural love me sooner style. All in all a very high quality wine with something different to offer than the normal Australian rizza.
