Frisk “Prickly” Riesling

The Alpine Valley region is nestled in the foothills of the Victorian Alps in South Eastern Australia. Snow covers the high-elevation vineyards in winter, and the blend of highly aromatic grapes invokes the sense of biting into a cold, crisp apple while surrounded by alpine herbs. The juice is fermented in stainless steel, and they deliberately halt fermentation at about 10% alcohol to keep a hint of residual sugar and encourage a light spritziness that further boosts the refreshing aromatics. The relatively low ABV means you won’t feel like you’ve been overly frisky if you drink a glass or three.
