Richard Hamilton Slate Quarry Riesling 2012

Slate by name, slate by nature. Named after the nearby slate quarry, the vineyard was planted in 1975.

Without fail, slate and mineral characters appear in the wine amongst river stone, lime and lime cordial.

A dry Riesling, the fruit doesn't wash through as much as I'd hope and there is a slight wateriness on the mid palate. Good acid and length, it is well priced for the stated $15.50.

I chilled this down ice cold and matched it with smoked paprika and lemon baked chicken. Tasty!
