Any idea on what this Riesling is?
The $25, 94 Point Riesling - for $9.99
Who would have thought that of all the varieties that we have featured in the mystery wines series that the one with the greatest demand, and as an extension the one hardest to procure good volumes of, is the humble Riesling.
We have managed big savings on high rated Dry Rieslings from Great Southern in Western Australia to Eden Valley in South Australia, outstanding examples of half or 'off-dry' from Pemberton and even a Noble Riesling from Coonawarra.
However the Watervale in the Clare Valley is considered Riesling's spiritual home in Australia. What a perfect segue... We have managed to source a nice chunk of a pristine Riesling from a secluded vineyard on the rocky eastern edge of Watervale. We will of course work our pricing magic but first the good oil from Sam Kim:
A RRP of $25.00 - which is about par for the course for even entry level Watervale - comes back to just $9.99 a pop, the catch being it is sold in dozen lots only. Insert something about not being able to go wrong, load up and enjoy this wine over the next decade! Have a great weekend.
