Stephanie Toole is one of the very best riesling makers in Australia and this new release can only add to her reputation, particularly as peak seafood season is with us. Whether you are grilling some prawns on the barbecue, grabbing some takeaway fish and chips or crafting a lobster salad you won’t go wrong with this exquisitely nuanced dry riesling from a small, family-owned, organic/biodynamic producer. Think lime essence, slatey minerality, intense energy and tight acidity. Everything you’d want from a Clare Valley riesling from a perfect vintage. www.gourmetontheroad.com

Pale colour; fresh aromas of citrus blossoms, especially lemon, a hint of baker’s yeast, and some passionfruit emerged with time in the glass, while the palate is delicate and refined, with tension and subtlety, soft yet dry at the finale with a well-judged touch of phenolics adding to the firmness and dryness of the aftertaste, which is very refreshing, long and more-ish. A baby, which will develop well and build complexity. Drink 2026–2037
