Tasting Notes - Small Fry Riesling 2005

Small Fry is a new label from the Barossa that effectively operates as a local negociant for ultra small regional growers. All wines retail around $16 - $19.

Deliberately made in an off-dry style with 20 grams of residual. Sweet, grapey nose. Nice but simple. Palate definitely on the sweet side but comes across as short and simple. Starts out like a kiwi riesling but doesn’t have the balance or stuffing right across the palate to successfully pull it off. Will have appeal for those looking for the simple sweet style.
