The fruit for the 2022 The Dry Dam Riesling is from both McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills. In the mouth, the acidity is like a defibrillator—it jolts awake the palate and throws the sweet fruit into the spotlight. Lovely, uncomplicated, summer Riesling. A lot of pleasure here.

A satisfying, lip-smacking mix of lemon hard candy, fresh lime zest and a touch of lanolin on a sleek, juicy frame, with good intensity and a touch of white flowers on the finish. Drink now. 250 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / South Australia Select to Add

Lighter-hued and fresher than The Stump Jump Riesling, d'Arenberg's 2019 The Dry Dam Riesling offers floral notes, hints of lime zest and green apples on the nose. It's light-bodied and rainwater-refreshing on the palate, even a touch chalky on the finish. I'd drink it young, but it should still be drinking well (albeit quite differently) in four or five years.

Succulent peach, apricot and lime flavors are juicy and appealing on a light body. A touch of lanolin lingers in the background. Drink now. 250 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / McLaren Vale-Adelaide Hills Select to Add

Lime zest, green apple and hints of peach appear on the nose of d'Arenberg's 2018 The Dry Dam Riesling, followed by similar flavors on the palate. It's light-bodied, with almost 15 grams per liter of sugar, but with 8.6 grams of total acidity and a pH under three grams. It finishes almost dry, a mouthwatering combination of sweet and tart underscored by the sensation of wet stones.
