Pale to white-gold, yet bright and alluring. Preserved Meyer lemon, custard fruit, bath salts, and a determined mineral aromaticity. Unmistakably riesling. A very clean and full palate: gently textural towards the end. Bath salts and minerality return and swirl around ripe yet also pristine lines of riesling lemon acidity. Dry, puckering, and only 11%ABV... And enough breath to slow down the raciness.
This upright riesling likes quite characterful and solid foodstuffs. Excellent with dumplings or stuffed pasta. Flat fish simply fried? But go back to the beginning of riesling:
Sister’s Run is serious fun. Our talented young winemaker Elena wears steel cap work boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in back of the ute, only for emergencies, like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and the like.
Returning from a ‘knees-up’ at midnight, mid vintage, she managed to kick off one high heel and slip back into a boot’ just as the cellar crew cried out, ‘Run Sister Run’; and exactly then our winemaker and label took flight!
The stiletto and boot are Sister’s Run; an independently owned and operated winery with a fierce commitment to making the best wines we can from family vineyards. We don’t take ourselves as seriously as we take our wines, but agree with Elena, all you need to know about wine is the five ‘V’s and remember the best wine is the wine you like.
