Dukes Magpie Hill Reserve Riesling 2021

Duke's Magpie Hill Reserve Riesling has been a big favourite for 4 vintages now. From the Great Southern of WA it buddies up with other greats from Howard Park and Frankland Estate. Below is a note from Duke Ranson which simplifies the style. From me add the dimension of minerality and you have all the secrets of this estate. Ian Cook

• Australian rieslings are invariably dry and crisp with a beautiful finish of lime, apple and pear. While European rieslings are remembered as sweet and not very subtle, the best Australian producers have developed a lean, clean, crisp and instantly refreshing wine that is great on a hot day, but also very special with seafood. While dry and zesty in their youth, these wines gradually develop more complexity as they age to produce intense fruit characters that hide the acid and fill the mouth with fruit. Duke Ranson
