Riesling “Prickly”, Frisk, AU, 2024

Frisk's eclectic team of winemakers located high in the Alpine Valleys of Australia believe wine is for enjoying. Period. Full stop. They don't try to baffle you with terms you've never heard of or flavors that have no business in a bottle of wine. They make delicious wine with a unique prickle to it. If it tastes a bit like nectarines, they'll tell you "this tastes a bit like nectarines." If it tastes a little like limes, or minerals? That's what they'll say. Frisk wines are grown in decidedly different climes. Places a little cooler, steeper, and more obscure than the places one would expect winemakers go, because Frisk's brilliantly conceived master lan consists of being where the grapes grow best and making wines that reflect that.
