Trestle Thirty One Riesling 2022 750ml

Trestle Thirty One’s 2022 Riesling was made entirely in stainless steel, whereas future vintages will unveil increasing proportions of acacia wood in the élevage. Scents of crushed stone, peach, lime and hints of florals show up on the nose, while in the mouth, this medium-bodied wine, with nine grams per liter of residual sugar, is plump and rounded on the mid-palate, then long and mouthwatering on the finish.

Varietal

Riesling

Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany’s ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very ‘terroir expressive’ varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of ‘fine’ white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.
