White Wine > Riesling > Helm Wines Premium Riesling 2009
|
NOTES
Helm Wines (established in 1973) is one of the first commercial wineries established in the cool climate Canberra District Wine Region. Riesling has been a passion of Ken Helm’s for 33 years. The last 6 years has seen the winery win 13 trophies, 17 gold, 19 silver and 30 bronze awards at wine competitions - including Germany. In 2000 Ken instigated the Hyatt National Riesling Challenge in Canberra; it is now the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.
TASTING NOTES
This is the 5th vintage of the Premium range of Rieslings, a terroir wine from Helm Wines and neighbour Al Lustenberger's vineyard. Only perfect specially-selected fruit is used to create the Premium Riesling, and the wine is only released under the Premium black label if it reaches a quality benchmark. The wine is not released every year. This vintage displays a fresh lifted floral nose and an elegant crisp fruit palate balanced with acid and minerality.
REVIEWS
Bright light green-straw; has greater fruit weight and intensity than Classic Dry with a mix of citrussy aromas and flavours. Perversely, I prefer the Classic Dry. Two trophies Cool Climate Wine Show ’08; top gold in its class at Sydney Wine Show ’09. Screwcap.12% alc. Rating 94 James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010 (2008 vintage)
