The 2021 Magpie Hill Reserve Riesling is already showing some toast on the nose, among the white flowers, lemon verbena and green apple skins. In the mouth, the wine is laser sharp and tightly focused, with a skein of taut, mineral acidity that weaves its way across the palate. Riesling has a shy hibernation phase after a year or so in bottle, and this is entering that stage now. Tasted this time last year, this wine has evolved over the ensuing year and is a quiet iteration of itself currently. The acid, structure and provenance of this wine demand patience, so we give it. Hold.
