Inspired by the Rieslings of Germany's Mosel, Pressing Matters produces four expressions ranging from very dry R0 through to sweet R139, with R9 positioned as the dry style. The estate's Riesling vines include D2V3, 198GM, F8V13 and 239GM clones planted on their own roots at a density of approximately 5,000 vines per hectare. Tasmania's cool growing conditions help the fruit retain vivid natural acidity while developing concentrated citrus and orchard-fruit character. At 12.5% alcohol, the 2024 R9 retains a fresh, precise profile while its modest residual sugar gives the palate additional balance and breadth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 release shows an aromatic spectrum of apple, lime, sherbet and subtle tea-like notes, complemented by a gentle demerara-sugar nuance. Its fruit is carried by cool, refreshing acidity that keeps the wine lively despite the small degree of residual sweetness. The palate is energetic and finely balanced, with citrus and orchard fruit forming the core of the wine. That interplay between fruit, acidity and restrained sweetness is central to the R9 style, allowing it to remain dry in overall impression while offering greater generosity than the estate's R0 Riesling. The finish is long, bright and persistent, making this a versatile Riesling for seafood, lightly spiced dishes and fresh Asian-inspired cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Vibrant, citrus-driven and aromatic\u003cbr\u003eFresh apple, lime and sherbet with subtle tea-like notes and a light demerara-sugar nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Dry, bright and finely balanced\u003cbr\u003eCrisp apple and lime fruit are supported by refreshing acidity, with restrained residual sweetness adding breadth without diminishing freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, energetic and refreshing\u003cbr\u003ePersistent citrus and orchard-fruit flavours carry through a clean, cool and finely balanced conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Pressing Matters\u003cbr\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Riesling\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr\u003eState - Tasmania\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Coal River Valley\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2024\u003cbr\u003eABV - 12.5%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eSweetness - Dry\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pressing Matters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44386566471767,"sku":"PM-RIES-R9-24","price":44.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/5881d1a5-9799-4c6f-b096-3d097af7da38.webp?v=1790819322","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/pressing-matters-r9-riesling-2024","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
