Monty’s Leap Riesling 2025
$32, 12.8% alcohol, screwcap, Great Southern.

Perfumed on the nose, fruitful on the palate, dry, structured and well sustained. This is an attractive riesling – good for drinking now but well-suited to spending a few years in the cellar. The main flavours are lemon, brine, tonic water and wet slate but floral aromas and hints of gooseberry on the palate add both breadth and interest. Everything here is nicely done, and it’s not hard to see it developing well too. 91 points.
