Leeuwin Estate Art Series Riesling

I tasted this wine at a party a few weeks ago. I had earlier blogged about the art labels for their world class Chardonnay, but I had not had the opportunity to taste these Rieslings yet. I must confess the Australian style of crisp dry Rieslings are not my cup of tea, the fruity German ones are more to my liking. Even for the dry styles, German, Alsatian and Austrian ones better suit my preference. The Art Series represents the top wines from Leeuwin Estate, so this is their top Riesling. Pale lemon with a crisp (but not too acid) fruity nose, the above wine was dry and mildly fruity on the palate with a nice acid backbone for support.
