Campbell Mattinson review of Moppity Atrius Murrumbateman Riesling 2023

Moppity Atrius Murrumbateman Riesling 2023
$35, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Canberra/Murrumbateman.

This is a pretty remarkable riesling. It has excellent intensity of flavour, and persistence through the finish, but it also has a point of difference, in that it feels and tastes different to most other Australian riesling offerings. It’s the strike of grapefruit flavour that does it, which combines with gravel and citrus characters to really create an impression, and to give the wine a presence. Wow. We have a wine on our hands here. It offers a body of flavour, and it presents it in its own particular style. 94 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
