Spearhead 2019 Riesling 750ml

Best known for consistently delicious Pinot Noir, Spearhead has upped its game by bringing on lauded winemaker Grant Stanley. For the Riesling, he combines estate and sourced fruit – half whole bunch pressed and the other seeing 24-hour skin contact. Honest and satisfying, it discreetly lays out its charms of lemon, tangerine, green leaf and apple sorbet. The light-weight palate is shored up by a steely frame. Lip smacking with just a suggestion of sweetness.
