Sticky Tea. What a name! The colour reminds me of the water at Lake Cootharaba (just north of Noosa) which is stained by tea tree leaves. But this is none of that. Riesling basket pressings that have been fermented then pressed off. It's excellent and quite delicious!
No doubt the name has come from the end result too. This smells and tastes of cold tea. But there's a well-handled and well-managed sweetness here. Balance is the key and this nails it. I love the fine rub of, dare I say, tea-like tannins too. Dried apricots and peaches early, there are scents of dried yellow flowers as well. This nails that post-meal cleanser. Pass the cheeseboard, please.
Drink now.
