Moppity Lock & Key Riesling 2025
$35, 12% alcohol, screwcap, Hilltops.
Highly textural riesling and a deliciously flavoured one too. This is a riesling with a few extra strings to its bow. It tastes of lime juice, lime leaf and lime jelly with orange rind, tangerine and green apple highlights. It has genuine grip to the finish – unusual for a riesling – a feature which will work very nicely with food. 92 points.
