Castle Rock Estate RS21 Riesling 2021
With 21 grams of residual sugar per litre, you can see where the RS21 on the label comes from. A wonderfully balanced wine where the sugar and acidity sing harmoniously, spicy Asian cuisines await.

Castle Rock Estate Riesling 2020
I only reviewed the 2019 release in February earlier this year. A quick turn around sees the 2020 land on the tasting bench. Very much a similar wine to the previous. Super Riesling and what a way to celebrate winemaker Rob Diletti's 20th vintage!
