Description
Introducing the Plantagenet Angevin Mount Barker Riesling 2022, a remarkable white wine that embodies the exceptional terroir of the Great Southern region of Western Australia. This dry Riesling showcases a vibrant array of flavors and an invigorating acidity that is both refreshing and aromatic, making it a delightful choice for any occasion.
Crafted from meticulously selected grapes from estate-owned vineyards, this Riesling benefits from the best cultivation methods to enhance its distinctive character. With its north-facing vineyards planted on ironstone-derived gravelly loam over clay soils, the vines are nurtured to achieve optimal ripening in a cool climate.

- Aroma: An enticing bouquet of lime zest and delicate white blossoms, complemented by hints of lemon sherbet and wildflowers, sets the stage for a lively tasting experience.
- Palate: Experience the bright and sharply defined flavors of sweet lime, ripe apricot, and subtle mineral flint. The wine boasts a creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity, culminating in a tangy lemon sherbet finish.
- Finish: A crisp and invigorating aftertaste, featuring lingering notes of lime pith and a flinty mineral edge, leaves a lasting impression.
This 2022 Riesling is versatile in its pairing abilities and serves beautifully as an aperitif or alongside a variety of dishes. For optimal enjoyment, serve chilled between 8-10°C and follow these exquisite serving suggestions:
- Present in tulip-shaped white wine glasses, garnished with a thin slice of green apple or a sprig of fresh mint.
- Pair with slightly spicy Asian dishes, such as Thai green curry or lemongrass spring rolls, as the wine’s acidity balances the heat.
- Complement a seafood ceviche platter featuring citrus-marinated prawns and scallops for a harmonious contrast of flavors.
- Create a refreshing white wine spritz by mixing the wine with sparkling mineral water and mint leaves over crushed ice.
- Enjoy alongside creamy cheeses, such as goat cheese or brie, drizzled with honey and served with toasted nuts.
The Plantagenet Angevin Mount Barker Riesling 2022 not only captivates the palate but also enriches your gatherings with its elegance and effervescent character. Whether you are hosting a lively brunch or a summer garden party, this wine is destined to impress and elevate your dining experience.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles between 45°F and 50°F (7-10°C) to preserve acidity and freshness especially important for high-acid whites like Riesling. Fuller-bodied whites may be stored slightly warmer but stay within 45-55°F (7-13°C).
- Light Exposure: Keep the wine in a dark place or a storage system that blocks light to prevent degradation from UV rays.
- Sealing: Ensure the cork remains moist by avoiding long-term cold refrigerator storage which can dry out the cork and accelerate premature aging. When opened use a wine stopper or vacuum seal to restrict oxygen exposure.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork in contact with the wine preventing drying and air ingress.
- Humidity: Maintain humidity around 60-70% to keep cork elasticity and prevent it from shrinking which can cause spoilage.
- Special Tips for White Wine:
- Avoid significant temperature fluctuations to prevent premature aging and preserve aromatic qualities.
- Once opened white wine should be refrigerated and consumed within 3-5 days. Use of a vacuum stopper can help extend freshness.
These conditions help maintain the wine’s quality and extend shelf life whether unopened or after opening.
