{"product_id":"2025-chalou-riesling","title":"2025 ChaLou Riesling","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"121\" data-end=\"418\"\u003eChaLou has quickly become one of the most exciting names out of Orange, and Riesling is right at the heart of what they do well. Nadja Wallington and Steve Mobbs have nailed the high-altitude Riesling style, and while most Aussie examples are bone-dry, their off-dry signature is one of the most reliable in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 season delivered excellent ripeness and power. It’s wild-fermented and stopped early to leave a touch of residual sugar, which isn't about sweetness so much as texture - it perfectly buffers the region’s naturally racy acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s highly aromatic, jumping with mandarin, orange blossom, and jasmine. The palate is vibrant and plush, transitioning into a clean, dry finish. This is exactly what you want with spicy Thai or a lime-heavy larb. It's drinking beautifully now but has the bones to go for a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Lotus flowers, lime skin and pineapple guava. There is a quartz and pumice-stone edge and a quivering tension between fruit nectar and vibrating acidity...
