The Carousal Riesling 2023 hails from the cool-climate wine regions of South Australia, where Riesling thrives in the ideal conditions of high-altitude vineyards. Known for producing some of the country’s most vibrant and age-worthy Rieslings, this wine showcases the classic characteristics of the variety: bright citrus, lively acidity, and a fine mineral backbone. The 2023 vintage experienced favorable weather, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while preserving the zesty freshness and aromatic complexity Riesling is known for.

Carousal’s winemaking philosophy focuses on minimal intervention, allowing the purity of the fruit and the unique terroir of the region to express itself in every bottle.

Appearance: Pale straw with greenish tinges, highlighting its freshness and youth.

Aroma: Bursting with citrus aromas of lime and lemon, alongside delicate notes of white flowers, green apple, and a touch of wet stone. There’s a hint of freshly cut herbs and a subtle flinty minerality, which adds to the complexity.

Taste: Crisp and refreshing, with lively flavors of lime zest, lemon juice, and green apple, balanced by a beautiful minerality. The wine has a razor-sharp acidity that gives it precision and drive, while the mid-palate offers a hint of nectarine and white peach. The texture is light, yet there’s a subtle richness from the ripe fruit, adding depth without overwhelming the palate.

Finish: Long and zesty, with lingering citrus and a mineral-driven finish. The wine’s acidity ensures a clean, mouthwatering close, making it perfect for food pairings.

Pairings: Freshly shucked oysters. The wine’s high acidity and citrus notes will enhance the briny flavours of the oysters, making for a perfect match.

Crab and Bug agnolotti with spinach, chili, dried shallot, and lemon butter sugo. The citrus and mineral character of the Riesling will lift the richness of the lemon butter sauce, while its acidity will balance the sweetness of the crab and bug.

Carousal Riesling 2023 is a beautifully crafted, refreshing white wine that captures the essence of cool-climate Riesling. Its balance of crisp fruit, vibrant acidity, and minerality makes it ideal for pairing with seafood or lighter, zesty dishes. Enjoy now for its youthful energy or cellar for added complexity.
